Worked practice questions

The respiratory system divides functionally into a respiratory zone and a zone that is:

  1. Conducting
  2. Connecting
  3. Concluding
  4. Contracting
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Conducting

1. One zone actually performs gas exchange. 2. The other simply carries air to and from it. 3. That carrying part is the conducting zone. _Source: OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology 2e, Chapter 22, The Respiratory System._

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._

The muscular tube lined with mucous membrane behind the nasal cavity is the:

  1. Pharynx
  2. Phalanx
  3. Plexus
  4. Pylorus
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Pharynx

1. It continues on from the nasal cavities. 2. It is formed by skeletal muscle. 3. That tube is the pharynx. _Source: OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology 2e, Chapter 22, The Respiratory System._
