Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A normal trachea (windpipe) has many rings made of cartilage (a strong and flexible tissue). These rings are C-shaped and support the trachea but also allow it to move and flex when your child breathes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your trachea is a key part of your respiratory system. The trachea is made of rings of cartilage. It is lined with cells that produce mucus. This mucus keeps allergens, dust particles or other debris out of your lungs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Rings of cartilage are present in the trachea to prevent its collapse when the air is not passing through it. The cartilage is a flexible connective tissue, and it supports the trachea while still allowing it to move and flex during breathing.

Detailed explanation-4: -(The cartilaginous rings are incomplete because this allows the trachea to collapse slightly to allow food to pass down the esophagus.)

Detailed explanation-5: -The airway that leads from the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi (large airways that lead to the lungs). Also called windpipe.
