Answer:

The nose

Step-by-step explanation:

The air is warmed, moistened and filtered by mucous secretions and hairs in the nose. The larynx sits at the top of the trachea. It contains your vocal cords. Each time you breathe in or inhale, the air passes through the larynx, down the trachea and into the lungs.
