Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
The larynx is framed by the thyroid, the cricoid, and the epiglottis cartilages and connected by ligaments and membranes. The thyroid cartilage is formed by the fusion of two cartilages; the fusion point is visible as the Adam's apple. The clavicle, first rib, and shoulder joint are not near the location of the larynx.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
During expiration, the carbon dioxide is expelled. If the patient cannot exhale effectively, carbon dioxide can build up. Pleurisy is pain upon inspiration. Pulmonary edema may accumulate as a result of poor inhalation, not exhalation. Poor exhalation does not have an effect on the oxygen carrying capacity of red blood cells.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved.

It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
