Answer 1

Order is :

Nasal cavity-> pharynx -> trachea -> bronchi -> bronchioles-> Alveoli

Esophagus is a part of digestive tract and not respiratory tract.

Nasal cavity is a large cavity called nasal cavity. It opens into pharynx, the common passage for food and air. Larynx connects the pharynx with the teachea. Trachea has vocal cords. Trachea divides into two main branches, left and right primary bronchi, which enters left and right lungs, respectively. Further they divide into secondary and tertiary bronchi. Tertiary bronchi divides into Bronchioles. Finally terminal bronchioles divide into vascularised bag like structures known as alveoli.
