How does air enter through the nose or mouth?

Air enters through the nose or mouth when we breathe in, it’s like opening a door for air to come inside our body.

When you breathe in through your nose, think of it like a tunnel. The air goes through little holes called nostrils, and then it travels down a path called the nasal passages. These paths help clean the air, making it easier for your lungs to use it later.

If you breathe in through your mouth, imagine it’s like taking a big sip of air, it just goes straight into your throat and then down into your lungs.

Sometimes when we're running or playing hard, we might breathe through both our nose and mouth at the same time, it's like having two doors open for more air to come in faster!

You can feel this happening if you put your hand near your face while you breathe. You’ll notice the air moving in, just like wind blowing through a window. Air enters through the nose or mouth when we breathe in, it’s like opening a door for air to come inside our body.
