Multiple choice biology breathing and respiration regulation of breathing human respiratory system contro and disorders of respiration

9 cartilages among them 3 are paired and 3 are unpaired occurs in

  1. Pharynx

  2. Larynx

  3. Glottis

  4. Bronchial tube
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
  • The larynx (voice box) is a cartilaginous box which helps in sound production.
  • It consists of 9 cartilages among them 3 are paired and 3 are unpaired.
  • Vocal cords are composed of twin infoldings of mucous membrane stretched horizontally across the larynx. They vibrate, modulating the flow of air being expelled from the lungs during phonation.
  • Hence vocal cords occur in Larynx.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Larynx'.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Larynx is the voice box (a-r), Trachea is the wind pipe (b-s), Alveoli are air sacs (c-q), and the Epiglottis is the lid of the larynx (d-p). Option A correctly matches these anatomical terms.

Arytenoid cartilage occurs in

  1. Larynx

  2. Nose

  3. Hyoid

  4. Sternum
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The arytenoid cartilages are a pair of small cartilages, shaped roughly like three-sided pyramids, which are located toward the rear of the larynx and play a vital role in positioning and adjusting the vocal folds during speech.

So, the correct option is is 'Larynx'.

Two fibro-elastic strands of larynx extend between.

  1. Thyroid and cricoid

  2. Thyroid and arytenoid cartilages

  3. Cricoid and tracheal cartilaginous ring

  4. Santorini and thyroid cartilages
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The vocal cords (vocal folds) are two fibro-elastic bands located within the larynx. They stretch between the thyroid cartilage anteriorly and the arytenoid cartilages posteriorly.

_____ projects obliquely upwards behind the tongue and the hyoid bone, pointing dorsally.

  1. Epiglottis

  2. Glottis

  3. Larynx

  4. Pharynx
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
    • The epiglottis is a large, leaf-shaped piece of cartilage lying on top of the larynx. It projects obliquely upwards behind the tongue and the hyoid bone, pointing dorsally.
    • During swallowing of food the larynx elevates, causing the epiglottis to fall on the glottis (opening into larynx) like a lid, closing it off, this prevents food from entering the windpipe (trachea). Hence The structure which prevents the entry of food particles into the respiratory passage is Epiglottis.
    • So, the correct answer is 'Epiglottis'.

    Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
    The structure which does not contribute to breathing movements in mammals is

    1. ribs

    2. diaphragm

    3. larynx

    4. abdominal muscles
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    C Correct answer
    Explanation

    The process of breathing is divided into two phases: inspiration (inhalation) and expiration (exhalation). The diaphragm, ribs, external, the internal intercoastal muscles and the abdominal muscles that move the diaphragm are all involved in changing the size of the thoracic cavity either by contraction or relaxation thereby changing the air pressure and causing air to move in or out of the lungs. So, the correct option is 'larynx'.

    Which of the following options is incorrect about the larynx (sound box)?

    1. It is a bony box.

    2. Glottis is the opening into the larynx.

    3. During swallowing of food glottis is covered by epiglottis to prevent food entry into the larynx.

    4. All of these.
    Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
    A Correct answer
    Explanation
    • Larynx is a cartilaginous box containing nine pieces of cartilages.
    • Glottis is the opening from where esophagus and trachea gets seperated.
    • To prevent food from entering into the larynx while swallowing, the epiglottis covers the opening of the larynx.
    • So, the correct option is (A).
