Which of the following diagram correctly illustrates the passage of ox...
Respiratory System:
- The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of gases, particularly oxygen and carbon dioxide, between the body and the external environment.
- It includes organs such as the nose, windpipe (trachea), lungs, and blood vessels.
Passage of Oxygen in the Respiratory System:
- Oxygen enters the respiratory system through the nose.
- From the nose, it travels through the windpipe (trachea).
- The windpipe branches into smaller tubes called bronchi, which lead to the lungs.
- In the lungs, oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream through the walls of tiny air sacs called alveoli.
- The oxygen-rich blood is then transported to the body's cells, where it is used for cellular respiration.
- Carbon dioxide, a waste product of cellular respiration, is carried back to the lungs through the bloodstream.
- In the lungs, carbon dioxide is expelled from the body when we exhale.
Correct Diagram:
The correct diagram illustrating the passage of oxygen in the respiratory system is:
C: Nose → windpipe → lungs → blood

Which of the following diagram correctly illustrates the passage of ox...
First the O² is taken in by our nostrils (nose) this is called Inhalation..then from the Nostrils O² travels to the intersection of two pipes Food pipe+Wind Pipe,then the a flip occurs on Food Pipe which let's the air enter Wind Pipe then through wind pipe it travels to lungs then the exchange of gases takes place between lungs and blood..CO² goes to lungs and O² comes in Blood.
Which of the following diagram correctly illustrates the passage of ox...
Option c is right answer because the passage of oxygen in the respiratory system is Nose ->wind pipe ->lungs ->blood so the answer is c
