Question
- the oral pharynx to the ______ makes up the laryngopharynx.
options: epiglottis, voice box, soft palate, hard palate
- define the word part sino-.
options: nose, hole, cavity, face
Question 7
The laryngopharynx (or hypopharynx) extends from the oropharynx (oral pharynx) down to the epiglottis (and then to the larynx and esophagus). The voice box is the larynx, the soft palate separates the nasopharynx and oropharynx, and the hard palate is part of the oral cavity roof. So the correct term to complete the statement about the laryngopharynx's boundary from the oral pharynx is epiglottis.
The word part "sino - " (as in terms like sinus) refers to a cavity. "Nose" is related to "rhino - ", "hole" is not the meaning of "sino - ", and "face" is related to other word parts. So "sino - " means cavity.
