Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The trachea is the primary "windpipe" that connects the larynx to the bronchi.

Answer: E 
 The trachea immediately branches off into two bronchi, one leading to each lung.

Answer: F 
 The epiglottis is a flap-like structure that points upward and allows air to enter the trachea, but closes during swallowing to prevent food from entering the trachea.

Answer: H 
 Alveoli are microscopically small pockets in the lungs that are lined with moist epithelium and are where gas exchange occurs.
