Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Large tubes that serve as a passageway for air are the bronchi.

Answer: A
 The trachea is a large tube that serves as a passageway for air and is located between the larynx and the bronchi.

Answer: D
 Bronchioles are small tubes that branch off from the bronchi and lead to the alveoli.

Answer: G
 The carina is a small, ridge-like projection located at the base of the trachea where it splits into the left and right bronchi.

Note: Pharynx, larynx, palate, and septum are structures of the respiratory system but do not fit the description of large tubes that serve as a passageway for air.
