Understand the Problem
The questions appear to focus on anatomy, specifically relating to the respiratory tract and structures within the neck. Each question presents a multiple-choice format and seeks to identify correct anatomical information.

More Information
The cribriform plate is a part of the ethmoid bone and separates the nasal cavity from the cranial cavity. The trachea is part of the lower respiratory tract. Paranasal sinuses are normally filled with air to help with lightening the weight of the skull, assisting in voice resonance, and providing a buffer against facial trauma. The ‘Adam’s apple’ is the thyroid cartilage, which is more prominent in males.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the components of the respiratory tract and filling contents of the paranasal sinuses.
