Explanation / Answer

1. The upper respiratory system includes everything fromthe larnyx to the nasal passages and the exernal nose, while thelower respiratory system starts with the trachae and continues tothe lungs. Therefore you answer is C.

2. When you look at a skeleton do you ever see a noseprotruding out? That;s because there is no bone in the nose. Also tissue and muscle would not be firm enough to give the noseit's structure. Therefore your answer would be B.

3. When you are inhaling and exhaling the pressure insideyour lungs changes with the use of the diaphragm. When youhave a ballon the and you let go of the end and all the air spitsout, this is because the air inside is of greater pressure then theatmosphere, so the air leaves the ballon. When you areinhaling this is caused by the pressure inside your lungs beinglower then the air outside your lungs, so air is drawn into thelungs. Therefore your answer is B.
