Ans.1.
The choice is (e) i.e. both (c) and (d) are correct.
If the larynx was removed an individual would most likely be unable to speak and it will cause respiratory arrest because larynx is involved in producing sound, breathing and protecting trachea from food aspiration. Larynx has vocal folds which produces sounds. Larynx is placed at a position where pharynx splits into trachea and oesophagus. Hence its removal leads to hampering of speech and respiratory arrest.
Ans. 2.
The choice is (e).
Respiratory system does not transports RBC, RBC is in blood transported by circulatory system.
Ans. 3.
The choice is (d).
Meastus = increase resonance
Meatus is the body opening found in ear, nose, urethra.
Ans. 4.
The choice is (a).
Laryngopharynx is found between hyoid bone and the larynx and oesophagus which guides food in oesophagus and air in airway. It is part of Pharynx.
Ans. 5.
The choice is (d)
The epiglottis and uvula are two structures that prevents objects from entering the larynx and nasal cavity respectively.
Epiglottis is elastic cartilage flap present at the entrance of larynx. Uvula and soft palate move together and close nasopharynx and prevents food entering nasal cavity
