UPSC NDA-1 – 2018
A) Bronchi: Tubes that carry air from the trachea into the lungs; they are part of the respiratory system.
B) Bowman’s capsule: A cup-like structure that surrounds the glomerulus in the nephron of the kidney. It is the site of filtration in the process of urine formation, which is part of the excretory system, *not* the respiratory system.
C) Diaphragm: A large, dome-shaped muscle located at the base of the chest cavity that plays a crucial role in inhalation and exhalation, making it an essential part of the breathing mechanism.
D) Trachea: Also known as the windpipe, it is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi, allowing the passage of air into the lungs. It is part of the respiratory system.
Therefore, Bowman’s capsule is the only option not involved in breathing.
