Question 46

Respiration

Oxygen from the atmosphere reaches the mammalian bloodstream through one of the paths indicated below. Indicate the correct path. a= mouth, b= trachea, c= bronchiole, d=nostril, e= bronchus, f = alveoli

  1. A.a → b → e → f → d
  2. B.b → d → f → e → c
  3. C.d → b → e → c → f
  4. D.b → a → f → e → c
  5. E.f → e → c → d → c.
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: C (d → b → e → c → f)

Explanation

Air passes nostril → trachea → bronchus → bronchiole → alveoli, where oxygen enters the blood.
