Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The small hair present in the cavity help to filter particles of dust and other foreign matter. Epiglottis is a leaf shaped cartilage which acts as a switch between the larynx and the oesophagus to permit air to enter the airway to the lungs and food to pass into the gastrointestinal tract. The epiglottis also protects the body from choking on food that would normally obstruct the airway. Pharynx is a cone-shaped passageway leading from the oral and nasal cavities in the head to the oesophagus and larynx. The pharynx chamber serves both respiratory and digestive functions. Larynx (voice box) holds the vocal cords. It is responsible for producing voice, helping us swallow and breathe. Air passes in and out of the larynx each time the body inhales or exhales
