It focuses on the structures responsible for transporting air to the respiratory zone, where gas exchange occurs. Key aspects include the epithelial lining of the nasal cavity, the cartilages of the larynx, and the branching pattern of the bronchial tree. The primary goal is to understand the pathway of air from the external environment to
