Oxygen is needed in the cell to produce carbon dioxide.
False
Gas conditioning in the respiratory system involves warming and humidifying the air.
True
The upper respiratory tract includes the nose, mouth, and pharynx.
True
The major respiratory organ in the upper respiratory tract is the trachea.
False
The main function of the conducting zone in the respiratory system is to deliver clean and moistened air to the respiratory zone.
True
True or false: The trachea splits at the sternal angle into left and right primary bronchi.
True
True or false: Each main bronchus divides into lobar bronchi.
True
True or false: Bronchioles are lined with simple columnar or cuboidal epithelium with cartilage in walls.
