What is the primary function of mucus and cilia in the nostrils?

• Sound production
• Filtration
• Temperature Control
• Respiration

The nostrils, larynx, and trachea are all made primarily of:

• Cartilage
• Bone
• Muscle
• Tendons

Where in the respiratory tract does the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide take place?

• Larynx
• Bronchi
• Trachea
• Alveoli

• It leaves the bloodstream and enters the alveoli
• It leaves the cells and enters the bloodstream
• It leaves the alveoli and enters the bloodstream

• Epiglottis would close

Which organelle uses oxygen to release enery from food?

• nucleus
