Question

Which of the following functions is associated with the nose?
A) initiating the cough reflex
B) external respiration
C) warming the air
D) producing mucus to trap debris from the air
E) warming the air and producing mucus to trap debris from the air

Accepted Answer

The function associated with the nose is both warming the air and producing mucus to trap debris from the air. The other options - initiating the cough reflex, external respiration, and producing mucus to trap debris from the air - are associated with other parts of the respiratory system such as the trachea and lungs.
