ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The trachea is the long tube that connects your larynx (voice box) to your bronchi. Your bronchi send air to your lungs. Your trachea is a key part of your respiratory system.

Detailed explanation-2: -The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is a cartilaginous tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi of the lungs, allowing the passage of air, and so is present in almost all air-breathing animals with lungs. The trachea extends from the larynx and branches into the two primary bronchi.

Detailed explanation-3: -The esophagus is a collapsible muscular tube that serves as a passageway between the pharynx and stomach. As it descends, it is posterior to the trachea and anterior to the vertebral column.

Detailed explanation-4: -Air enters the respiratory system through the nose and mouth and passes down the throat (pharynx) and through the voice box, or larynx. The entrance to the larynx is covered by a small flap of tissue, the epiglottis, that automatically closes during swallowing, thus preventing food or drink from entering the airways.
