What would happen if the nostrils had no tiny hair?
-
You can breathe easily
-
You could get sick easily
-
You will have nose bleed
Correct Answer
A. You could get sick easilyExplanation
If the nostrils had no tiny hair, they would not be able to filter out dust, allergens, and other particles in the air that we breathe. This would make it easier for harmful substances to enter our respiratory system, increasing the risk of getting sick. The tiny hairs in the nostrils play an important role in trapping and preventing these particles from entering our lungs, so without them, our immune system would be more vulnerable to infections and illnesses.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Send messages to the brainExplanation
The nasal cavity is responsible for allowing air in and out of the body and contains a mucous membrane that helps to filter and humidify the air. However, it is not involved in sending messages to the brain. The olfactory receptors in the nasal cavity play a role in detecting smells, but the actual transmission of these messages to the brain occurs through the olfactory nerve.Rate this question:

-
At the bottom of the nasal cavity
-
At the roof of the nasal cavity

A. At the roof of the nasal cavityExplanation
The nerves that detect chemicals that cause smell are located at the roof of the nasal cavity. This is where the olfactory epithelium is located, which contains specialized cells called olfactory receptor cells. These cells have tiny hair-like structures called cilia that extend into the nasal cavity and are responsible for detecting and transmitting signals about different smells to the brain.Rate this question:

What should you do FIRST if your nose bleeds?
-
Bend slightly backward
-
Bend slightly forward
-
Bend slightly side ward
Correct Answer
A. Bend slightly forwardExplanation
When your nose bleeds, the first thing you should do is bend slightly forward. This is because bending forward helps to prevent blood from flowing down the back of your throat, which can cause you to swallow blood and potentially irritate your stomach. By bending forward, you allow the blood to flow out of your nose instead.Rate this question:
