P1b & p3b
The air compressor uses bleed air from the engine and then pressurises it even further, once that is done it is pumped through to the air receiver which holds the air until it is need for example so the landing gear can be put down or to bring it up.
Ram air is mainly used to cool down the avionics systems on a plane, it also is used to help keep the fuel from slushing in flight by pressurising the fuel tanks.
Bleed air is taken from the engine and used for the air condition/pressurisation of the cabin, it is also used for de-icing the wings in flight.
The air cycle unit cools bleed air down to a temperature by ram air it is then used as air conditioning for the cabin.
Humidifiers are used to add moisture to the air making it more comfortable for the passengers on board.
P2a & m1a

P2b & m1b

P3A
The purpose of a cabin conditioning system is to keep the passengers at a certain temperature inside the cabin no matter what the temperature is outside the cabin

P3C

M2
The temperature of the air in the cabin is controlled by various sensors such as thermostats these are place all over the cabin so there is a level temperature throughout the cabin. There is also thermocouples and thermistors which are placed in various places such as the output of the air conditioning pump which pumps out the air into the cabin. All of these sensors are linked to the temperature control valve which mixes the ram air with bleed air to get the right temperature set by the pilot.

D1A
The pressurization of an aircraft is controlled by the cabin pressure it opens and closes at 8,000ft. this operation is also known as a groud-air-ground cycle. As flying below 8,000ft there is enough oxygen to breath the cabin does not need to be pressurised so the valve stays open once it goes above 8,000ft it closes and uses the cabin

    Well as the ceiling jet (hot gases moving horizontal across the ceiling) approached a wall, it began to bank downwards towards the floor. Continued burning within the structure increases the thickness of the smoke until it banks down and reaches the neutral plane. This smoke pressure is equalized throughout the room, causing it to bank to the less pressurized area below (Jones & Forney, 1992). This area is where the inside pressure equalized with the outside pressure entering the structure. A two-way flow begins to occur from the opening to the room.…

    Breathing consists of two phases. The first is inspiration and the second is expiration. During inspiration, the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles contract. The diaphragm moves downwards increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and the intercostal muscles pull the ribs up expanding the rib cage and further increasing this volume. This increase of volume lowers the air pressure in the alveoli to below atmospheric pressure. Due to air always flowing from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure, it rushes in through the respiratory tract and into the alveoli. This is called negative pressure breathing, changing the pressure inside the lungs relative to the pressure of the outside atmosphere. In contrast to inspiration, during expiration the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles relax. This returns the thoracic cavity top its original volume, increasing the air pressure in the lungs and forcing the air out.…

    Only the lower levels are cooled, meaning that the total volume of air to be cooled becomes lesser. The ground is cooled by the chilled water pipes on the floor, and since cool air sinks and hot air rises, the cool air remains at the lower levels while the hot air rises to the higher levels and eventually leaves the…
