Respiratory System Anatomy and Air Pathway
In this engaging exercise, students will explore the intricate anatomy of the respiratory system by tracing the journey of air through the nasal passages, down the trachea, and into the lungs while identifying key structures and their functions. Students will create detailed diagrams and interactive models to deepen their understanding of how this vital system supports breathing and gas exchange.
