Respiratory System Pathway Card Sort Activity

Knowing the pathway of gases is paramount for students to understand the physiological scope and sequence of the respiratory system. This activity will help human anatomy and physiology students learn the route air takes into and out of the body via inhalation and exhalation. It features twelve squares, each with an anatomical term, which students will cut out for sorting into the accurate air pathway.

The anatomical grid contains the following terms – alveoli, alveolar ducts, bronchi, bronchiole tubes, glottis, laryngopharynx, larynx, nasal cavities, nasopharynx, nostrils, oropharynx, and trachea.

Product features:

• A large grid with twelve respiratory anatomical words
• A numbered and labeled key for inspiration
• A numbered and tagged key for expiration

Materials needed but not included:

• Scissors
• Large paper clips for fastening the cut-out squares
