Air is [[Ventilation - Anatomy & Physiology|inhaled]] and passes through the upper respiratory tract (nares, [[Nasal cavity - Anatomy & Physiology|nasal cavity]], [[Nasopharynx - Anatomy & Physiology|nasopharynx]], [[Larynx - Anatomy & Physiology|larynx]], [[Trachea - Anatomy & Physiology|trachea]]) where it is  heated and moistened. It then passes to the lower respiratory tract ([[Bronchi and bronchioles - Anatomy & Physiology|bronchi, bronchioles]], [[Lungs - Anatomy & Physiology|alveoli]]) where oxygen diffuses across the alveolar wall and into the blood, forming oxyhaemoglobin.
