The respiratory system divides into how many zones?

  1. Two
  2. Nine
  3. Six
  4. Ten
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Two

1. The division is functional, not anatomical. 2. One zone carries air and one exchanges gas. 3. The respiratory system can be divided into a conducting zone and a respiratory zone. 4. So the answer is two. _Source: OpenStax 'Anatomy and Physiology 2e', Ch 22 'The Respiratory System'_

Where does gas exchange occur?

  1. Retaining zone
  2. Respiratory zone
  3. Regulatory zone
  4. Refractory zone
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Respiratory zone

1. One zone only moves air about. 2. The other is where oxygen actually crosses. 3. The gas exchange occurs in the respiratory zone. 4. So the answer is the respiratory zone. _Source: OpenStax 'Anatomy and Physiology 2e', Ch 22 'The Respiratory System'_

What covers the opening of the trachea?

  1. Epidermis
  2. Epithelium
  3. Epiglottis
  4. Epicardium
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Epiglottis

1. Swallowing must not send food into the airway. 2. A flap of elastic cartilage closes it off. 3. The epiglottis is a flexible piece of elastic cartilage that covers the opening of the trachea. 4. So the answer is the epiglottis. _Source: OpenStax 'Anatomy and Physiology 2e', Ch 22 'The Respiratory System'_
