Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bronchi are the tubes that branch from the trachea and contain cartilage as part of their structure.

Answer: F 
 Bronchioles are smaller branches of the bronchi that lack cartilage and are therefore more flexible.

Answer: H 
 The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is the tube that carries air into the lungs.

Answer: G 
 The lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system and are responsible for gas exchange between the air and the blood.

Answer: I 
 The pleura are the thin, double-layered membranes that surround the lungs and line the chest cavity, helping to protect and lubricate the lungs during breathing.

Answer: A 
 The pharynx is the area at the back of the throat that is involved in both digestion and respiration.

Answer: J 
 The larynx, or voice box, is the structure at the top of the trachea that contains the vocal cords and helps to generate sound.

Answer: C 
 The alveoli are the tiny air sacs within the lungs where gas exchange occurs between the air and the blood.

Answer: D 
 The respiratory mucosa is the lining of the respiratory system, which includes the nose, pharynx, trachea, and bronchi, and is responsible for producing mucus and helping to filter and moisturize the air we breathe.

Answer: E 
 The respiratory membrane is the thin layer of cells and connective tissue that separates the alveoli from the blood vessels, allowing for gas exchange to occur.
