Besides carrying air, the conducting zone warms, humidifies and removes:

  1. Dryness
  2. Debris
  3. Density
  4. Dosage
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Debris

1. Incoming air carries particles and pathogens. 2. They must be trapped before reaching the alveoli. 3. So the conducting zone removes debris. _Source: OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology 2e, Chapter 22, The Respiratory System._
