Step-by-step solution
The human respiratory system is divided into a conducting zone and a respiratory zone. The conducting zone includes the external nostrils, nasal passage, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and terminal bronchioles.

The respiratory zone consists of the alveoli and their ducts, which are the actual sites of gaseous exchange betw
