Divide the nasal cavity
Allows for expansion or contraction of the trachea
Provide a surface for the sense of smell
All of the above
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: B. Allows for expansion or contraction of the trachea.
The trachea is a tube that carries air from the nose and mouth to the lungs. It is made up of rings of cartilage that are held together by muscles. The C shape of the trachea allows it to expand and contract as we breathe. This is important because it ensures that a constant supply of air is delivered to the lungs.
The other options are incorrect. The trachea does not divide the nasal cavity. The nasal cavity is divided by the septum, which is a wall of cartilage and bone. The trachea does not provide a surface for the sense of smell. The sense of smell is detected by the olfactory receptors, which are located in the upper part of the nasal cavity.
