Solution
The correct option is C Bowman's capsule The process of breathing involves the respiratory system. Various organs of the respiratory system are involved in the process of breathing. These organs include nose, pharynx, larynx, epiglottis, trachea, bronchi, lungs, alveoli and diaphragm. During breathing, trachea allows the flow of air towards the bronchi. From bronchi, the air reaches to the lungs where the exchange of gases takes place. During inhalation, the muscles of the diaphragm contracts. This leads to expansion of the thoracic cavity. During exhalation, the muscles of the diaphragm relaxes and thoracic cavity contracts. Bowman's capsule is a part of an excretory system.
