Because cigarette smoke contains so many irritants,the longer someone smokes the more it acts as a stimulant for the cilia in the respiratory system to move more rapidly to clean out the bronchi.

The narrowest part of the larynx is the slit between the right and left vocal folds.

The primary bronchi and the pulmonary blood vessels bound together by connective tissue form what is called the root of the lung.

At the level of the hyoid bone,the:

When air leaves the posterior nares,it next enters the trachea.

Anatomically,how does the right bronchus differ from the left bronchus? What effect might this have on the aspiration of objects?

Match each term with its corresponding statement or definition. -tubes that supply each lobe of the lung

There are eight paranasal sinuses.

Both the thyroid gland and the carotid arteries touch the sides of the larynx.

When the palatine bones fail to unite completely,the resulting condition is called cleft palate.
