You breathe air in through your nose and mouth. What happens next? The air travels to the back of your throat. Then, it enters your windpipe, the tube that leads to your lungs. In the lungs, this tube splits into smaller and smaller tubes, and finally into tiny alveoli. These alveoli are tiny bags that are surrounded by tiny blood vessels.
