Correct Answer
A. To warm the air and filter dustExplanation
The function of the nasal passages is to warm the air and filter dust. The nasal passages have tiny hairs called cilia that help filter out dust particles and other impurities in the air we breathe. Additionally, the nasal passages have a network of blood vessels that help warm the air before it reaches the lungs. This is important because cold air can irritate the lungs and cause discomfort. Therefore, the nasal passages play a crucial role in ensuring that the air we breathe is clean and at an optimal temperature.Rate this question:

What is the function of the diaphragm?
-
Allow you to inhale and exhale due to muscular contraction
-
To block up the lungs
-
To help you swallow
-
To help clear your lungs of hazardous material
Correct Answer
A. Allow you to inhale and exhale due to muscular contractionExplanation
The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle located beneath the lungs. Its main function is to contract and relax, allowing the lungs to expand and contract during inhalation and exhalation. When the diaphragm contracts, it moves downward, creating more space in the chest cavity and causing the lungs to expand and fill with air. This allows for inhalation. When the diaphragm relaxes, it moves upward, reducing the space in the chest cavity and causing the lungs to deflate and release air. This allows for exhalation. Therefore, the diaphragm plays a crucial role in the process of breathing by allowing us to inhale and exhale through muscular contraction.Rate this question:

Your epiglottis is a tiny flap of tissue in your throat. How does this tissue save your life each day?
-
It helps your brain function by providing nutrients to it
-
It closes your trachea when you swallow so that food and water does not choke you
-
It prevents stomach acid from burning holes through the stomach lining
-
It absorbs water out of your food so that you do not become dehydrated
Correct Answer
A. It closes your trachea when you swallow so that food and water does not choke youExplanation
The epiglottis is a small flap of tissue located in the throat that plays a crucial role in preventing choking. When you swallow, the epiglottis closes off the trachea, or windpipe, to ensure that food and water enter the esophagus and not the lungs. This action prevents the risk of choking by directing the swallowed substances to the correct pathway. Without the epiglottis, there would be a high chance of food or water entering the airway and causing choking or aspiration pneumonia.Rate this question:

-
They create bile to digest lipids in your food
-
They create stomach acid to help digestion in your stomach
-
They create mucus to protect your stomach lining from the stomach acid
Correct Answer
A. They create mucus to protect your stomach lining from the stomach acidExplanation
Foveolar cells are important because they create mucus to protect the stomach lining from the stomach acid. The stomach acid is necessary for digestion, but it can also be harmful to the delicate lining of the stomach. The mucus produced by the foveolar cells acts as a protective barrier, preventing the acid from damaging the stomach walls. This helps to maintain the integrity of the stomach lining and prevent the development of ulcers or other gastrointestinal issues.Rate this question:
