3

Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?

54% Answer Correctly

nasal cavity

epiglottis

trachea

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, responsible for preventing food from entering the airway.
