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 epiglottis is an elastic cartilaginous leaf-shaped flap covering the opening of the larynx. It is attached to the internal surface of the thyroid cartilage and projects over the pharynx, allowing the passage of air into the larynx, trachea, and lungs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: The trachea or windpipe divides into the two primary bronchi which enter each lung. These further divide and subdivide into smaller and smaller bronchi finally forming tiny tubes called bronchioles that end in alveloi (air sacs that facilitate oxygen transfer from the lungs into the pulmonary capillaries).

Detailed explanation-4: -The larynx (voice box) is the area that connects the throat to the windpipe (trachea).

Detailed explanation-5: -Further down, the trachea divides into two tubes (left and right) called bronchi (BRAHN-kye). The bronchi connect the trachea to the lungs.
