The document summarizes the main parts of the respiratory system including the lungs, trachea, larynx, bronchi, alveolus, pharynx, and nose. The lungs take up most of the space in the chest cavity. The trachea enters the chest cavity opposite the upper border. The larynx is composed of cartilage plates that prevent collapse. A bronchiole ventilates each pulmonary lobule. Alveoli are specific to mammalian lungs and are involved in gas exchange. The pharynx is a cavity in the throat that serves as an air and food passage. The nose allows for smell and contributes to taste.
