What to Do Complete the chart below describing various parts of the human respiratory system. Part Function Special Features filter, warm and moisten air hollow spaces with turbinates to warm and moisten air warm and moisten air hollow space for alternate gas exchange route pharynx chamber connecting oral and nasal cavities to larynx connects to surrounding regions epiglottis closes off airway when swallowing food small and flexible responsible for voice sounds small, flexible membranes that vibrate when air passes through passage of air to bronchi cartilaginous rings for protection bronchus passage of air to lungs branching increases surface area and mucus filters foreign particles bronchiole passage from bronchus to each many branched tubes to alveolus increase surface area nasal passages oral cavity larynx trachea alveoli diaphragm gas exchange membranes are one cell thick and surrounded by capillaries for efficient diffusion increase and decrease volume of chest cavity very thin, muscular structure
