  12. 35. Pharynx? Really. Are all answers even correct? I stopped checking my answers when I came across this. Some options of some questions aren't sensibly related to one another too, like no.2. Sad if some people passed LET without even noticing this. Poor children of the future.

    1. Air, food and liquid all pass through this common passage, the oropharynx. The two passages separate again here, in the hypopharynx. Food and liquid pass backward into the esophagus on their way to the stomach. Air passes forward through the larynx and into the trachea, on its way to the lungs.

  13. Kindly update your answer key please. If I had no prior knowledge to some of the questions that have wrong answers, I might think that it is really the right answer and answered it to the examination.

  14. 36.What is the membrane that surrounds the lungs?

    A. Pleura

    B. Meninges

    C. Peritoneum

    D. Pericardium

    The answer is letter A not C. Peritoneum belongs to our abdomen. Mali mali mga answers eh.

    1. yes i agree to this one. .. sa number 36. the answer is pleura not pericardium because the pericardium is the serous membrane that covers the heart not for the lungs
