3. tracheae and tracheoles | 4. skin |
What prevents the entry of food into the larynx during deglutition?
1. A thin elastic cartilaginous flap
2. A thick fibrous cartilaginous flap
3. A thick elastic cartilaginous flap

The trachea divides into a right and a left primary bronchus at the level of:
1. | 2nd thoracic vertebra | 2. | 3rd thoracic vertebra |
3. | 5th thoracic vertebra | 4. | 12th thoracic vertebra |
Consider the following two statements:
I: | The lungs are situated in the thoracic chamber which is anatomically an air-tight chamber. |
II: | This arrangement is essential as we cannot directly alter the thoracic volume. |
1. | Both I and II are correct and II correctly explains I |
2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I |
3. | I is correct and II is incorrect |
4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
Regarding pulmonary capacities, the maximum volume of air a person can breathe in after a forced expiration can also be defined as:
1. | Total volume of air a person can inspire or expire after a normal inspiration or expiration |
2. | Volume of air that will remain in the lungs after a normal expiration |
3. | Maximum volume of air a person can breathe out after a forced inspiration |
4. | Total volume of air accommodated in the lungs at the end of a forced inspiration |
