Answer: No, it’s the Pharynx! But yes! Lungs are one of the main components of the respiratory system!

The main components of the respiratory system are:


Nose and mouth: the air enters the body.


Sinuses: regulate the humidity and temperature of the breathed air.


Pharynx (throat): delivers the breathed air to the trachea.


Larynx (voice box): helps in talking and making sounds.


Trachea: connects the pharynx with lungs.


Bronchi: tubes that connect to each lung, present at the end of the trachea.


Bronchioles: tubes that connect bronchi to the alveoli.


Lungs: a pair of organs that helps in circulating oxygen throughout the body and removal of carbon dioxide from the body.
