Read the following statements regarding the human respiratory system: A. The conducting part transports atmospheric air to the alveoli and brings it to body temperature. B. The conducting part extends from the external nostrils up to the terminal bronchioles. C. All structures of the conducting part are supported by incomplete cartilaginous rings. Choose the correct option.

Options

  1. AStatements A and B are correct
  2. BStatements A, B and C are correct
  3. CStatements A and C are correct
  4. DStatements B and C are correct
