Answer:

Particulate matter in the inhaled air is trapped by the epithelial mucus.

Explanation:

The complete question is:

"Particulate matter in the inhaled air is trapped by the __________.

a. tracheal carina

b. paranasal sinuses

c. pharyngeal muscles

d. epithelial mucus"

The nostril is covered with a mucous membrane that, at its highest part, is formed by an epithelium that contains cells that produce mucus and hair cells covered with fine hairs, called vibratil cilia. Epithelial cells help protect against the entry of microorganisms. In other words, certain types of epithelial cells have tiny hairs called cilia, which help remove foreign substances.

So, particulate matter in the inhaled air is trapped by the epithelial mucus.

A person lifts a 25 kg box of old sports equipment at an angle of 75 degrees to the vertical to a shelf 2.6 meters above. How mu

kogti [31]

Answer:

164.87 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Work done (W) = mghcosθ........................ Equation 1

Where m = mass of the box, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity, θ = angle to the vertical

Given: m = 25 kg, h = 2.6 meters, θ = 75°.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these value into equation 1

W = 25×9.8×2.6×cos75°

W = 164.87 J.

What effects do coil of wire on a compass after it has been connected to a battery

Yanka [14]

Explanation:

The compass needle moved when the wire was connected to the battery. The important point here is that the needle is affected by the wire only when both ends of the wire are connected to the battery because only at this time is current flowing through the circuit.
