What do you use to suck in air and pass down into the bronchi?
The Pharynx. You've got the pharynx that runs from your nose down towards to the esophagus. Somewhere towards the end of the pharynx is the larynx, aka the windpipe. This is where the air enters to go into your lungs and the bronchi, it is also where the vocal chords are contained. There is a small covering to prevent food from going down your larynx however it is no always preventable, like when people say 'it went down the wrong pipe'. This pressure difference, and the forcing movement of the lungs creates the actual intake of air into the mouth/nose, through the pharynx, larynx, and into the bronchi.
