What is one primary function of the nose in relation to air quality?
What is one primary function of the nose in relation to air quality?
- To regulate the flow of air into the lungs
- To moisten air via mucous membranes (correct)
- To lower the temperature of inhaled air
- To filter out oxygen from the air
Which mechanism does the nose use to remove dust and particles from the air?
Which mechanism does the nose use to remove dust and particles from the air?
- Mucus that traps dust and cilia that move particles (correct)
- Vibrations that shake loose particles
- Air pressure changes that expel particles
- Nasal hairs that filter large particles
How does the nose contribute to vocal resonance?
How does the nose contribute to vocal resonance?
- By filtering low-frequency sounds
- By producing sound through vocal cords
- By blocking air passage to enhance sound quality
- By amplifying sound waves within the nasal cavity (correct)

Study Notes
Nose Functions
- Warming: Warms air using blood capillaries.
- Moistening: Moistens air with mucous membranes.
- Filtering: Filters air; mucus traps dust, cilia move particles to the throat for removal.
- Resonance: Contributes to vocal resonance.
