3

Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?

60% Answer Correctly

epiglottis

trachea

nasal cavity

pharynx


Solution

After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.

5

Which of the following is the formula for power?

56% Answer Correctly

\(P = w t\)

\(P = {w \over t}\)

\(P = \vec{w}t\)

Solution

Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time:  \(P = {w \over t}\)  and is measured in watts (W).
