Parts and Functions of the Upper and Lower Respiratory Tract
1. Please match the numbered parts of the respiratory system to their corresponding labels in the table on the next page. The third
column provides the functions of each labeled part.
2. Unscramble the words in the second column and write the proper spelling on the blank space in the diagram.
3. Match the parts to their function in the third column and write the letter of the correct answer in the first column.
01. PHARYNX
02. TRACHEA
03. ALVEOLI
04. DIAPHRAGM
05. NASAL CAVITY
06. LARYNX
07. LOBE
08. BRONCHIOLES
09. BRONCHI
10. LUNGS
D 1. HAXPYRN A. also called as windpipe; a hollow tube that serves as passageway of air into the lungs
A 2. CHEATAR B. also called bronchial tubes; two branching tubes that connect the trachea to the lungs
C 3. VIALOLE C. also called air sacs; allow the gas exchange in the lungs
J D. located behind the nasal cavity and above the larynx. Food as well as air passes
4. MAIDGRAPH
through it
F E. associated with the production of sound; is situated in the neck of mammals and plays a
5. ALSAN ACTIVY
vital role in the protection of the trachea
E 6. XYLARN F. the organ through which the air enters and is filtered
I 7. BOLE G. the finer subdivisions of bronchi; hair like tubes that connect to alveoli
G H. either of the paired respiratory organs, situated inside the rib cage, that transfer oxygen
8. SCHOOLBRINE
into the blood and remove carbon dioxide from it
B 9. BONRICH I. one of the sections of the lungs
H 10. SNUGL J. the muscular wall below the rib cage that contracts when we inhale.
II. Please circle the appropriate letter for the best and correct answer for each item. (5 points)
1. Which of the following parts of the respiratory system is not included in its upper tract?
A. nostrils C. diaphragm
2. What part of the body located at the neck part is responsible for ensuring that the food we intake will not pass through the
respiratory tract?
A. trachea C. lungs
B. esophagus D. epiglottis
3. Which of the following shows the correct order of these parts, starting from the thinnest to the thickest?
4. As the air passes through the nose, the air will move to the trachea. Which of the given choices correctly describes the air that
will go to the lungs?
5. Alveoli are tiny round air sacs located at the innermost part of each lobe of the lungs. Which among the given choices does not
describe the function of alveoli in the human respiratory system?
A. passageway for both food and air C. gateways for oxygen to enter the body
C. the primary site of respiration inside the lungs D. place where CO2 and O2 exchanges
