VladimirAG [237]3 years ago

Answer:

Particulate matter in the inhaled air is trapped by the <u><em>epithelial mucus.</em></u>

Explanation:

The complete question is:

<em>"Particulate matter in the inhaled air is trapped by the __________. </em>

<em>a. tracheal carina </em>

<em>b. paranasal sinuses </em>

<em>c. pharyngeal muscles </em>

<em>d. epithelial mucus"</em>

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, <u><em>particulate matter in the inhaled air is trapped by the epithelial mucus.</em></u>

Describe how one plays Dr.Dogeball​
JulsSmile [24]
•To play Dr. Dodgeball you need to have 2 teams to verse each other.
•Next, select one person from each team to be the doctor (depending on the size of the teams you can have varying amounts of doctors)
•Continue to play dodgeball how you normally would
•When a player gets hit and is “out” they have to sit on the ground and wait for the doctor to “revive them” (this usually requires the doctor dragging,touching, or moving the player that is out to a “revival place” which is usually decided on by the advisor or person in charge.
•Finally, try to get all the doctors and players out from the other team. Get the doctors first, for they cannot revive themselves. Which means the other players are out after they get hit with a ball since the doctors are out. (Some games are played where if all doctors are out the game ends)
Hope this helped! Play on! And plz mark brainliest lol this was long to write :D
