Summary

Question 1 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science Concepts - PE361

Which of the following best describes the upper respiratory tract?

Answer
A
It takes air in from outside the body.
B
It is where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.
C
It is located inside the thorax.
D
It is not directly involved in respiration.

Explanation

The upper respiratory tract includes structures such as the nose, nasal cavity, and pharynx, which bring air into the body and help move it toward the lungs. Gas exchange happens in the lungs, not in the upper respiratory tract, so choice B is incorrect. The best description is that it takes air in from outside the body.
