The conducting airways are the portion of the pulmonary system that provides a passage for the movement of air into and out of the gas-exchange portions of the lung. The nasopharynx, oropharynx, and related structures are often called the upper airway. The larynx connects the upper and lower airways. The trachea connects the larynx to the bronchi, which are the conducting airways for the lungs.
