Question 2 • Anatomy & Physiology B

What do the trachea and the bronchial tubes have in common? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
They act as passageways for air.
B
They are lined with epithelial cells.
C
They extract oxygen from the air.
D
They are lined with thin muscles.

Explanation

Both the trachea and bronchial tubes carry air toward the lungs, so they act as passageways. Their inner surfaces are lined with epithelial cells. They do not extract oxygen from the air—that happens mainly in the alveoli—and muscles are not what lines these airways.
