Explanation / Answer

1. Answer: False
The lower respiratory tract include the trachea (Wind pipe) and lungs (bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli). The Larynx is part of the upper respiratory system and is located between the pharynx and the trachea. Humans use the larynx to breathe, talk, and swallow.

2. Answer: False
Cirrhosis is a widespread distortion of the liver's internal structure that occurs when a large amount of normal liver tissue is permanently replaced with nonfunctioning scar tissue. The scar tissue develops when the liver is damaged repeatedly or continuously by chronic abuse of alcohol, chronic viral hepatitis, and fatty liver not due to alcohol.
When the liver is damaged, it attempts to repair itself by forming scar tissue (fibrosis). When fibrosis is widespread and severe, the scar tissue forms bands throughout the liver, destroying the liver’s internal structure and impairing the liver’s ability to regenerate itself and to function. Which eventually leads to the death of patient.

3. Answer: True
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a hormone produced by gonadotropic cells in the anterior pituitary gland. In males LH stimulates Leydig cell for production of testosterone. It acts synergistically with FSH. In females, an acute rise of LH ("LH surge") triggers ovulation and development of the corpus luteum.
