Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The external nares are the openings in the nose that allow air to enter from the outside environment.

Answer: B 
 The nasal conchae are structures inside the nose that help to increase the surface area for air to pass over, warming and humidifying the air as it enters the body.

Answer: D 
 The mucous membrane lines the inside of the nose, helping to trap dust and other particles that may be inhaled, and moistening the air.

Answer: E 
 The pharynx is a muscular tube that connects the mouth and nasal cavity to the esophagus and trachea, allowing air and food to pass through.

Answer: H 
 The bronchi are the two primary branches of the trachea that lead air into the lungs.

Answer: I 
 The larynx is often called the "voice box" because it contains the vocal cords, which vibrate to produce sound. It also helps to control the flow of air in and out of the lungs.

Answer: J 
 The diaphragm is the primary muscle responsible for breathing, contracting and relaxing to help move air in and out of the lungs.
