Bartholin's gland
Prostate gland

Explanation
A. Nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli: This correctly lists the anatomical pathway air follows from entry to the gas-exchange sites.
B. Nasal cavity, pharynx, trachea, larynx, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli: This places the trachea before the larynx (incorrect order); the larynx is between the pharynx and trachea.
C. Nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchioles, bronchi, alveoli: This incorrectly reverses bronchioles and bronchi -bronchi branch into bronchioles, not the other way around.
D. Nasal cavity, larynx, pharynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli: This places the larynx before the pharynx (incorrect); air passes through the pharynx first then the larynx.
Correct Answer is ["C","D","E"]
Explanation
A. Converted to carbon monoxide: CO (carbon monoxide) is a different gas and is not a product or transport form of CO₂.
B. Bind to myoglobin: Myoglobin primarily binds O₂ within muscle cells; CO₂ transport by myoglobin is not a main mechanism.
C. Binds to hemoglobin: CO₂ can bind to hemoglobin (forming carbaminohemoglobin) as one transport form.
D. Converted to bicarbonate ions: Most CO₂ is converted to bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) in red blood cells and transported in plasma.
E. Dissolved in plasma: A small proportion of CO₂ is carried dissolved directly in plasma.
