Question

which series of events describes the function of the respiratory system? (1 point) air comes through the mouth, down the throat, passing the diaphragm to the epiglottis and then to the lungs. air enters through the nose and is filtered down through the pharynx and trachea, entering the lungs at the bronchi. air enters through the nose, is filtered by the alveoli in the trachea, passes into the pleura, and finally to the bronchi. air is taken in using the diaphragm through the nose, then filtered and warmed in the bronchi, travelling down the epiglottis, to reach the larynx

Explanation:

The respiratory system's function involves air - entry through the nose, filtering, and passage through the pharynx, trachea, and into the lungs at the bronchi. The alveoli are where gas - exchange occurs, not part of the initial air - entry and filtering pathway. The diaphragm is a muscle for respiration but not part of the air - entry filtering route described here. The epiglottis and larynx are not the main structures involved in the initial air - entry and filtering as described in the correct sequence.

Answer:

Air enters through the nose and is filtered down through the pharynx and trachea, entering the lungs at the bronchi.
