A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/11/M/J/20
Question 33 from 9700/11/M/J/20

Explanation

Bronchi contain specific respiratory structures

Steps:

  • Recall bronchi are airways branching from trachea to lungs.
  • Identify key histological features: incomplete cartilage rings, smooth muscle, ciliated pseudostratified epithelium.
  • Match features to options based on standard anatomy.
  • Select option listing cartilage rings and smooth muscle.

Why B is correct:

  • Bronchi feature C-shaped hyaline cartilage rings for support and smooth muscle for constriction, per respiratory anatomy definitions.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A lacks cartilage, found only in smaller bronchioles.
  • C includes alveoli, absent in bronchi.
  • D mentions stratified squamous epithelium, typical of esophagus not airways.

Not enough information on exact choices, but B aligns with bronchial structure.

Final answer: B

Topic: The gas exchange system
