Question

) keri was practicing her gymnastics floor exercise while chewing gum. during a disastrous attempt at a new flip, she accidentally inhaled the gum. where did the gum probably lodge?

a.right primary bronchus
b.trachea
c.left primary bronchus
d.nasopharynx
e.epiglottis

Answer 1

The gum is probably lodged in the right primary bronchus. The right primary bronchus is an airway directly connected to the right lung. Bronchi are primarily responsible for moving air into the lungs, so when Keri choked on the gum, the gum would have blocked the air passage way required to breathe.
