Question

question 14 which of the following pairs is mismatched? o apex - tip top of lung o base - bottom section of lung o hilum - area where trachea enters the lungs o pleura - sac around lungs 2 pts

Explanation:

The hilum is the area where the bronchi, blood - vessels, and nerves enter and leave the lungs, not specifically where the trachea enters. The trachea divides into bronchi which then enter the lungs at the hilum. The other pairs (apex - tip top of lung, base - bottom section of lung, pleura - sac around lungs) are correctly matched.

Answer:

C. hilum - area where trachea enters the lungs
