The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Nasopharynx**: The nasopharynx is the upper part of the pharynx that connects the nasal cavity to the oropharynx. It plays a critical role in the respiratory system. 2. **Identifying the Openings**: The question asks which openings are received by the nasopharynx. The options given are: - Conchae - Cone - Columella - Larynx 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Conchae**: These are bony structures in the nasal cavity that help in air turbulence and filtration. They do not open into the nasopharynx. - **Cone**: This refers to the choanae, which are the posterior openings of the nasal cavity that lead into the nasopharynx. This is a correct option. - **Columella**: This is a small structure found in some animals, not related to the human nasopharynx. - **Larynx**: The larynx is located below the nasopharynx and does not open into it. 4. **Conclusion**: The only correct opening that the nasopharynx receives is the **Cone** (choanae). ### Final Answer The nasopharynx receives the opening of the **Cone**. ---
