Since 1 & 2 were skipped over I'll go ahead and answer them.

1. A throttle body lets the air into the intake manifold which is where the air/fuel is mixed before it's combusted.

2. A blow-off valve releases the compressed air once the throttle body closes.

I skipped over them for a reason. Look it up on the internet.
