- 6. The tube that carries air from the throat to the lungs; also called the windpipe.
- 8. The voice box above the trachea that produces sound and protects the airway when swallowing.
- 9. The organs that help you breathe by taking in oxygen and getting rid of carbon dioxide.
Down
- 1. The openings of the nose that let air in.
- 2. Small branches of the bronchi that lead to the alveoli and help regulate airflow.
- 4. The tube that connects the nose and mouth to the larynx and esophagus, allowing air and food to pass through.

- 7. Tiny air sacs in the lungs where oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide is removed.
