  1. 3. An organ with a double-membrane layer that encompasses the lungs
  2. 6. a tubular part that guides air into the lungs from the mouth and nose
  3. 9. a flap-like structure that prevents water and food from getting into the trachea when you’re eating.
  4. 12. the passage that allows oxygen to enter from the nose to the lungs
  5. 13. also known as the windpipe, facilitates the flow of air towards the bronchi.
  6. 14. are found inside the lungs. they facilitate the exchange of oxygen for carbon dioxide within the lungs
  7. 15. is broken into two different parts, the superior and inferior
Down
  1. 1. this part controls the flow of air while you are breathing. it also connects the trachea to the laryngopharynx
  2. 2. are responsible for bringing oxygen to the alveoli. They also control the distribution of oxygen in the lungs.
  3. 4. broken into three parts, the superior, inferior, and middle
  4. 5. the final part that guides air into the lungs. it extends from the trachea and is connected to the actual lungs.
  5. 7. the passage that allows oxygen to enter from the mouth to the lungs
  6. 8. assists the lungs to expand and contract
  7. 10. the cavity is the space that is found in between the two layers of the pleura. The pleural cavity stores the pleural fluids. This fluid acts as a lubricant for the lungs as the contract and expand.
  8. 11. are responsible for extracting the oxygen from the air that has been inhaled. then they allow the carbon dioxide to be exhaled
