Question

The lungs are part of which system involved in speech production?

• A. Digestive system
• B. Respiratory system
• C. Nervous system
• D. Circulatory system

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Respiratory system

The lungs are the primary organ in the respiratory system, and they play a critical role in speech production by supplying the air (or airflow) needed to produce sounds.

Here’s how it works:

• The lungs push air out through the trachea (windpipe).

• This airflow then moves through the vocal cords and into the mouth and nose, where it is shaped into different speech sounds.
