Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The trachea is commonly referred to as the windpipe, as it is the tube that connects the larynx, or voice box, to the lungs, allowing air to pass in and out of the body. A is incorrect as the nose is the organ responsible for the entrance and filtration of air in the respiratory system, whereas the trachea is further down the system. B is incorrect as the mouth is also involved in air intake and the initiation of speech, but is not directly related to the trachea. D is incorrect as alveoli are the small sacs found in the lungs where gas exchange occurs, rather than part of the pathway leading to them.
