Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
In the lateral nasopharynx, there are two openings into the left and right eustachian tubes that link the upper airway with the middle ear (Figure 9-36). The eustachian tubes drain fluid out of the middle ear and allow gas to move in or out of the middle to equalize pressure on either side of the tympanic membrane.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The upper respiratory tract is defined as those airways starting at the nose and mouth and that extend down to the trachea (Figure 9-36).

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
