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.
