Which of the following functions is associated with angiotensin?

A. The trachea is the windpipe that carries air to the lungs. While it plays a role in respiration, it does not protect the airway during swallowing.

B. The epiglottis is a flap of cartilage that covers the trachea during swallowing, preventing food or liquid from entering the airway and directing it to the esophagus.

C. The uvula is part of the soft palate that helps in the swallowing process but does not directly protect the airway. It assists in preventing food from entering the nasal cavity.

D. The pharynx is the passageway for both air and food, but it does not provide protection to the airway during swallowing. The epiglottis is the main structure responsible for this protection.

A. Flexion refers to a bending movement that decreases the angle between two body parts, such as bending the knee or elbow, but it does not involve lateral movement away from the body's midline.

B. Adduction is the movement of a body part toward the midline of the body, opposite of what the question describes.

C. Extension refers to a straightening movement that increases the angle between two body parts, such as straightening the arm or leg, but again does not involve lateral movement.

D. Abduction is the correct term for moving a limb or body part away from the midline of the body. In this case, it refers to the lateral movement of the leg away from the body's midline.
