The breathing system is designed to carry out certain
functions. If we look at specific features of the system, we
should be able to explain why they look the way they do.
Read each ‘feature’ (in red) statement and each ‘explanation’ (in
blue) statement. Then try to drag the correct feature to the
explanation.
e.g. small flexible
flap, the epiglottis
covers the trachea when we
swallow to stop the food
passing into the lungs
