Respiratory test

The nose is divided by the…

• Nasal septum

• Nasal cavity

• Mucosa lining

• Nostrils

Which option warms the air and traps foreign objects

• Nasal septum

• Nasal cavity

• Mucus

• Mucosa lining

How are foreign objects disposed of

• Posterior to the nose

• Ciliated cells trap debris towards throat for digestion

• Debris is trapped towards the trachea

• Non-ciliated cells must use three ridges called conchae to dispose down the nasal cavity

What are the three ridges found within the nasal cavity called?

• Conchae

• Mucosa lining

• Ciliated cells

• Uvula

What is the purpose of the conchae

• Decrease mucosal surface area and air turbulence, allowing less particulates to contact the nasal cavity walls instead of entering the lungs.

• Increase mucosal surface area and air turbulence, allowing more particulates to contact the nasal cavity walls instead of entering the lungs.

• Reduce food going into the lungs

• Increase food to enter the lungs

How do the hard and soft palate differ, structurally?

• The soft palate is made of cartilage, the hard palate is made of bone.

• The hard palate is made of cartilage, the soft palate is made of bone

• The soft palate is made of bone, the hard palate is made of muscle

• The hard palate is made of bone, the soft palate is made of muscle

Choose the 3 functions for the paranasal sinuses:

• Lighten the skull

• Produce mucus

• Prevent food from entering lungs

• Resonate speech

• Block foreign objects

What is the pharynx?

• The nasal cavity

• The throat

• The lungs

• The nostrils

Choose the three portions of the pharynx

• Nasopharynx

• Laryngopharynx

• Trachea

• Oropharynx

• Uvulapharynx

What lymphatic tissue lines the pharynx

• Pharyngeal tonsil
• Lingual tonsil
• Nasopharyngeal tonsil
• Palatine tonsil
