15 Questions
Match the following terms with their correct descriptions:
Tracheostomy = Emergency airway creation below the cricoid cartilage Intubation = Tube insertion through mouth or nose to clear obstructions Carina = Point of tracheal division into right and left main bronchi Clara cells = Type of epithelial cells in bronchioles, protecting against toxins
Match the following structures with their characteristics:
Right bronchi = Shorter, wider, and vertical compared to the left bronchi Main bronchi = Contain incomplete rings of cartilage like the trachea Bronchioles = Absence of cartilage, presence of smooth muscles Oropharynx = Part of the pharynx located posterior to the oral cavity
Match the following actions with their corresponding structures:
Insertion of tracheal tube = Tracheostomy procedure Passing a tube through larynx and trachea = Intubation technique Suctioning out mucus from trachea = Procedure done through an inserted tube Triggering cough reflex = Sensitivity in the mucous membrane of the carina
Match the following parts of the pharynx with their descriptions:
Nasopharynx = Exchanges small amounts of air with the auditory tube to equalize air pressure Oropharynx = Lies posterior to the oral cavity and lined with nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium Laryngopharynx = Begins at the level of the hyoid bone and opens into the esophagus and larynx Upper Respiratory Tract = Contains the larynx which produces sound and conducts air into the lower respiratory tract
Match the following functions with the larynx:
Produces sound (contains vocal cords) = Larynx Conducts air only into the lower respiratory tract = Larynx Prevents swallowed materials from entering the lower respiratory tract = Larynx Triggers cough reflex to expel foreign particles = Larynx
Match the following characteristics with their corresponding part of the pharynx:
Contains pharyngeal tonsils = Nasopharynx Lined by nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium = Oropharynx Both a respiratory and digestive pathway = Laryngopharynx Opens into esophagus and larynx = Laryngopharynx
Match the following structures with their location in the pharynx:
Located posterior to the oral cavity = Oropharynx Begins at the level of the hyoid bone = Laryngopharynx Connects with the trachea and contains vocal cords = Larynx Exchanges small amounts of air with the auditory tube = Nasopharynx
Match the following functions with their description in the upper respiratory tract:
Expels material through cough reflex when necessary = Larynx Connects with trachea to conduct air downwards = Larynx Protects lower respiratory tract from foreign particles = Larynx Contains vocal cords for sound production = Larynx
Match the following parts of pharynx with their respective functions:
Has both respiratory and digestive functions = Oropharynx Serves as a passageway for air, food, and drink = Oropharynx Functions as a respiratory and digestive pathway = Laryngopharynx Equalizes air pressure between middle ear and atmosphere = Nasopharynx
Match the following anatomical regions with their descriptions:
Nasopharynx = Superior portion of the pharynx, lies posterior to the nasal cavity Oropharynx = Middle portion of the pharynx, involved in both breathing and swallowing Laryngopharynx = Inferior portion of the pharynx, connects to the esophagus Larynx = Contains vocal cords and is involved in sound production
Match the part of the upper respiratory tract with its function:
Nose = Filters inspired air and contains receptors for sense of smell Pharynx = Acts as a passageway for air and food, houses tonsils Larynx = Involved in producing sound and regulating air flow Upper respiratory tract = Consists of nose, pharynx, and larynx
Match the following parts of the pharynx with their locations:
Nasopharynx = Posterior to the nasal cavity Oropharynx = Posterior to the oral cavity Laryngopharynx = Posterior to the larynx Pharynx = Funnel-shaped tube about 13 cm long
Match the function with the corresponding part of the upper respiratory system:
Sense of smell = Nose Swallowing assistance = Pharynx Sound production = Larynx Air and food passage = Upper respiratory tract
Match the anatomical region with its openings:
Nasopharynx = Two internal nares, two openings leading into the auditory tube Oropharynx = Opening for both air and food passage Laryngopharynx = Connects to both respiratory and digestive systems Pharynx = Contains different openings for various functions
Match the following descriptions with their corresponding anatomical regions:
Superior portion of the pharynx = Nasopharynx Middle portion involved in swallowing = Oropharynx Inferior portion connecting to esophagus = Laryngopharynx Contains vocal cords for sound production = Larynx
Learn about the anatomy of the pharynx, including the nasopharynx and oropharynx, their functions, and structures. Understand the importance of equalizing air pressure in the middle ear. Explore the different types of epithelium lining the pharynx.
