Question

Arrange the following anatomic structures in the order in which they would be transited by a molecule of oxygen as it is transported from atmospheric air to a kidney cell in the human body. To get you started - the oxygen atom is taken up in the air breathed into the nostrils, so begin by numbering the nasal cavity as structure #1. The structure you eventually label as structure #10 should represent the structure where the oxygen molecule exists just before it moves into the kidney cell.

red blood cell

pharynx

larynx

trachea

nasal cavity

pulmonary capillary

alveolus

renal capillary

bronchus

bronchiole
