- - - - Pulmonary ventillation: air movement in and out of lungs(breathing)
      - External respiration: O2 and CO2 exchange between lungs and blood
    - - transportation of O2 and CO2 in blood
      - Internal respiration: O2 and CO2 exchange between systemic blood and tissue vessels
- - - - Includes: root, bridge, dorsum nasi, and apex
  - - - nasal vestibule: superior to the nose and filters inspired air lined w/ mucous membranes and pseudo stratified ciliated columnar epithelium
      - Nasal conchae: mucose covered projections that protrude medially from each wall of nasal cavity as they filter and moisten inspired air
  - - - Nasopharynx:air passageway that is posterior to nasal cavity. Consist of the uvula which closes the nasopharynx while swallowing
      - Oropharynx: passageway for food and air from soft palate to epiglottis. Has palatine and lingual tonsils
      - laryngopharynx: passageway for air and food. Posterior to the uprigh epiglottis which also extends from the larynx
