MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The airway that leads from the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi (large airways that lead to the lungs). Also called trachea.

Detailed explanation-2: -The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube about 4 inches long and less than an inch in diameter in most people. The trachea begins just under the larynx (voice box) and runs down behind the breastbone (sternum). The trachea then divides into two smaller tubes called bronchi: one bronchus for each lung.

Detailed explanation-3: -The trachea (windpipe) is the part of the airway that continues below the larynx (LAIR-inks). The walls of the trachea (TRAY-kee-uh) have stiff rings of cartilage to keep it open. The trachea is also lined with cilia, which sweep fluids and foreign particles out of the airway to keep them out of the lungs.

Detailed explanation-4: -The larynx is the upper opening into the windpipe (trachea), the passageway to the lungs.

Detailed explanation-5: -The trachea and oesophagus (or esophagus) are the two tubular structures present in the neck region of the human body. They are located close to each other but completely different in functions. The trachea is the windpipe, whereas the oesophagus is the foodpipe of humans.
