Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The structure to which the auditory tubes from the middle ear lead is known as the pharynx, also called the throat.

Answer: H
 The trachea, or windpipe, is a structure that connects the larynx to the bronchi.

Answer: F
 Bronchioles are the small branches of the bronchi that lead to the alveoli.

Answer: G
 The lung is the organ where gas exchange takes place between the air in the alveoli and the blood vessels.

Answer: J
 The larynx, or voice box, is a structure located at the top of the trachea that contains the vocal cords.

Answer: I
 The pleura is a thin, double-layered membrane that surrounds each lung and helps to protect and cushion the organ.

Answer: B, C, E
 The bronchi are the two main branches of the trachea that lead to the lungs; the alveoli are the tiny air sacs at the ends of the bronchioles where gas exchange occurs; the respiratory membrane is the thin barrier between the alveolar air and the blood vessels that allows for gas exchange to occur. The term "respiratory mucosa" does not match any of these definitions.
