Biology
1 answer:
Karolina [17]3 years ago
7 0
The correct answer would be the third option. The larynx guards the opening at the back of the throat that leads into the trachea. It is a flexible and tough section in the respiratory tract that connects the pharynx and the trachea. It is an important part of the respiratory system as it allows air to pass through and keeping drink and food from blocking the airway. It is also the so called "voice box" since it has the vocal folds that help us produce sounds. The sounds are produced by the motion of the air in the larynx and the vocal folds which are movable folds found in the mucous membrane.

Describe the four structural roles of the skeletal system.<br> The Human SKELETAL SYSTEM
makkiz [27]

Answer:

1. Support

2. Protection

3. Movement

4. Supply & Storage

Explanation:

1. Support :  It provides a framework to support the organs and tissues of the body.  

2. Protection:  It protects our internal organs.  The skull protects the brain; the thorax (sternum, ribs and spine) protects the heart, lungs and other viscera (organs within the thorax).

3. Movement:  It provides a framework for muscles to attach.  Then when the muscles contract they pull on the bones of the skeleton, which act like levers to create movement.

4. Supply & Storage:  The bones that make up the skeleton are a source of both red blood cells (which transport oxygen) and white blood cells (which fight infection), which are formed within the bone marrow.
