<reasoning>

Identify upper respiratory structures

The upper respiratory tract consists of structures outside the thorax. These include the nose, nasal cavities, sinus cavities, pharynx, and larynx. The trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, and lungs are part of the lower respiratory tract.

Locate the respiratory control center

The primary control center that regulates breathing and sends signals to the diaphragm to contract is located in the brainstem, specifically within the medulla oblongata and the pons.

Select correct options for Question 12

Based on anatomical definitions, the affected upper respiratory structures are:

• nose
• sinus cavities
• nasal cavities
• larynx
• pharynx

Formulate answer for Question 13

The control center that regulates breathing by stimulating the diaphragm is located in the medulla oblongata (and the pons) of the brainstem.
