00:01 You've heard that breathing is important, and i'm here to tell you that it is.

00:03 And every time we breathe, that air travels through a lot of different parts of our body.

00:10 It will start in either your nose or in your nasal passages or your mouth, depending on how you're breathing.

00:15 And then it will travel through all of these structures.

00:18 Your pharynx, your larynx, your trachea, your bronchiales, and your alvely.

00:24 Now, real quick, just to make that statement, these last three, the, the, the, the bronchia, your bronchiol, your bronchiol, your bronchiol, and your alvely.

00:30 Bronchiales and the alveoli, these are all part of your lungs.

00:36 The bronchae being the big major two branches, one that goes into each lung, the bronchiales is all of the twigs, you might say, all of the smaller branches that come off of those two trunks and spreads out throughout the lungs and the alveoli is the very small ends of those bronchules that attach to capillaries and actually allow the oxygen to pass from your lungs to your lung.

01:05 So those are all structures as part of the lungs and how they function as they do.

01:10 But these are the major structures.

01:16 So starting up at the fairnics and the larynx, we often talk about these structures in conjunction.

01:24 One of the major differences is that the larynx has the glottis.

01:33 Some of you might have heard of the glottis, but i think more of you would have heard of the epiglottis, which is that little flap that's in the back of your throat that closes when you swallow and put your tongue to the roof of your mouth.

01:49 It will automatically close your epiglottis so that way food and water doesn't pass into your airways and it just goes down to your stomach.

02:01 So it's an important little structure there.

02:07 So lernix holds the glottis, the epiglottis, that helps maintain only air in our airways.

02:13 And then it goes to the trachea, which is what you would probably consider the throat.

02:22 So the throat where you can feel adam's apple or those ridges in the front of your throat, this is where you have your trachea...
