Inhaled air travels through the nose (or mouth), down the windpipe — the firm ringed tube you can feel at the front of your neck — which divides into two branches, one to each lung. The lungs, two spongy organs filling the rib cage (behind the ribs of Definition 17.1), end in millions of tiny air pockets, each wrapped in fine blood vessels.
