Glottis is lined with:
Correct answer: B. Mucous membrane
- A. Plasma membrane
- B. Mucous membrane
- C. Meninges
- D. Epithelial membrane
Explanation
The medial surface has a mucosal lining that forms the lateral aspect of the respiratory part of the glottis. The apex of the arytenoid cartilage is pointed and articulates with the corniculate cartilage.The glottis, located in the larynx, is the opening between the vocal cords. It is lined with a mucous membrane, which plays an essential role in keeping the airway moist, protecting tissues from irritants, and allowing smooth vocal cord movement for phonation.

About Human Respiratory System
The human respiratory system conducts air to the alveoli, where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange occurs across thin respiratory surfaces. Questions cover the nasal passage, trachea, bronchi, lungs, diaphragm and intercostal muscles, ventilation mechanics and gas transport, while distinguishing breathing and gaseous exchange from cellular respiration.
