  • A. Bronchi
  • B. Bronchioles
  • C. Pharynx
  • D. Alveolar duct

Explanation: the main airways (bronchi) branch off into smaller and smaller passageways - the smallest, called bronchioles.

Correct answer: Bronchioles
  • A. Bronchioles
  • B. Bronchi
  • C. Alveoli
  • D. Air sac

  • A. Voice box
  • B. Bronchioles
  • C. Vocal cords
  • D. Vocal duct

Explanation: The vocal folds, also known as vocal cords, are located within the larynx at the top of the trachea.

Correct answer: Vocal cords
  • A. No effect on surface tension
  • B. Increasing surface tension
  • C. Decreasing surface tension
  • D. None of these

Explanation: Pulmonary surfactant is essential for life as it lines the alveoli to lower surface tension, thereby preventing atelectasis during…

Correct answer: Decreasing surface tension
  • A. Alveoli
  • B. Trachea
  • C. Diaphragm
  • D. Bronchi

Explanation: Alveoli are tiny ball-shaped air sacs which inflate and deflate, and thus, make the lungs spongy.
