Question

Match the following parts to their descriptions.

• A. Lid of larynx
• B. Voice box
• C. Wind pipe
• D. Air sacs

Answer 1

Inhaled air passes through tiny ducts from the bronchioles into elastic air sacs which are called alveoli.

Epiglottis is a flap that is made of elastic cartilage tissue covered with a mucous membrane and is attached to the entrance of the larynx.

Trachea (or windpipe) is a wide, hollow tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi of the lungs.

The larynx (or voice box) contains the vocal cords or the vocal folds and are the reason that it is often called the sound box or the voice box.
