    what is the opening of the trachea called?

    Explanation
    The opening of the trachea is called the glottis. The glottis is located at the top of the larynx and is responsible for allowing air to pass through into the trachea and lungs during breathing. It consists of the vocal cords and the space between them. When we speak, the glottis adjusts to produce different sounds by controlling the vibrations of the vocal cords.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Explanation
    The epiglottis is a flap of cartilage located at the base of the tongue that prevents food and liquid from entering the windpipe during swallowing. It covers the opening of the larynx, or voice box, and directs the passage of food and liquid into the esophagus. This helps to protect the lungs from aspiration, which is the inhalation of foreign objects or substances into the respiratory tract.

  • 7. 

    Explanation
    The correct answer is the right primary bronchi. This suggests that the question is asking about a specific structure in the respiratory system. The right primary bronchi are the two main branches that extend from the trachea and lead to the right and left lungs. They are responsible for delivering air to the lungs for gas exchange.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Explanation
    The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle located below the lungs that plays a crucial role in the process of breathing. When we inhale, the diaphragm contracts and moves downward, allowing the lungs to expand and fill with air. This movement creates a vacuum that draws air into the lungs. When we exhale, the diaphragm relaxes and moves back up, pushing the air out of the lungs. Therefore, the diaphragm is responsible for controlling the volume and pressure of air in the lungs during the breathing process.

    (sorry its so blurry!!  NOT the vocal cords, the cartilage just before the vocal cords)

    Explanation
    The correct answer is arytenoid cartilages. The arytenoid cartilages are located just before the vocal cords in the larynx. These small, pyramid-shaped cartilages play a crucial role in controlling the tension and position of the vocal cords. They help to adjust the pitch and volume of the voice by rotating and sliding, allowing for different vocalizations and sounds to be produced. The arytenoid cartilages also contribute to the opening and closing of the glottis, which is essential for speech and breathing.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Explanation
    The trachealis muscle is a smooth muscle that runs along the posterior wall of the trachea. It helps to regulate the diameter of the trachea, allowing for the passage of air during respiration. When the muscle contracts, it narrows the trachea, increasing resistance to airflow. Conversely, when it relaxes, the trachea widens, facilitating easier breathing. Therefore, the trachealis muscle plays a crucial role in controlling the airflow through the trachea and maintaining proper respiratory function.

  • 17. 

    the branches off of the primary bronchi

    Explanation
    The secondary bronchi are the branches that come off of the primary bronchi. They are responsible for delivering air to the lobes of the lungs. Each lung has two primary bronchi, one for each lung, and these primary bronchi further divide into secondary bronchi, which then divide into smaller and smaller bronchioles. The secondary bronchi play a crucial role in the respiratory system by ensuring that air reaches all parts of the lungs for efficient gas exchange.
