3. Anaerobic respiration: Respiration which takes place in the absence of


oxygen.

4. Larynx: Sound producing organ; it is the uppermost part of trachea.

5. Pharynx: Common passage that opens both into the food pipe and the wind
pipe.

6. Glottis: Opening of the pharynx into the trachea.

7. Epiglottis: Flap like structure in the glottis that prevents the entry of food into
the trachea.

8. Diaphragm: A muscular sheet forming the floor of chest cavity.
