Question 18 • Medical Terminology - EL3620

Dani says that her pulmonary ventilation occurs in her respiratory zone. What is another way of saying this?

Answer
A
Her breathing occurs in her pharynx.
B
Her breathing occurs in her lungs.
C
Her tracheotomy occurs in her pharynx.
D
Her tracheotomy occurs in her lungs.

Explanation

Pulmonary ventilation means moving air into and out of the lungs. The respiratory zone is the part of the respiratory system within the lungs where gas exchange occurs, so the closest restatement is that her breathing occurs in her lungs. The pharynx is an airway in the throat, not the respiratory zone.
