Which part of the respiratory system helps protect against infection?
nasal cavity |
|
epiglottis |
|
pharynx |
|
trachea |
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.
The __________ is a system of muscles that allows breathing.
trachea |
|
bronchioles |
|
pulmonary |
|
diaphragm |
The diaphragm is a system of muscles that allows breathing. During inhalation, the diaphragm expands and air rushes in to fill the space created. Then, during exhalation, the diaphragm contracts and forces the air back out.
In the heart, the __________ artery and vein manage blood flow to the lungs.
atrial |
|
pulmonary |
|
capillary |
|
aorta |
The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
212°F is how many °C?

\(135 {5 \over 9}\) |
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 100\)
