Anatomy of the Lower Respiratory System

Question 1 • Anatomy & Physiology B

What is the lower respiratory system?

Answer
A
The organ system containing the nose, throat, and lungs.
B
The passageway by which carbon dioxide exits the body.
C
The passageway by which air enters the lungs.
D
The group of organs and tissues of the respiratory system that reside in the chest.

Explanation

The lower respiratory system includes the respiratory organs and tissues located in the chest, such as the trachea, bronchi, and lungs. The nose and much of the throat belong to the upper respiratory system, so choice A includes both upper and lower parts rather than describing only the lower system.
