Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your trachea (TRAY-kee-uh) is a long, U-shaped tube that connects your larynx (voice box) to your lungs. The trachea is often called the windpipe. It’s a key part of your respiratory system. When you breathe in, air travels from your nose or mouth through your larynx.

Detailed explanation-2: -(WIND-pipe) The airway that leads from the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi (large airways that lead to the lungs). Also called trachea.

Detailed explanation-3: -The trachea is the tube-like structure that carries air from the throat to the lungs. The trachea divides into two tubes as it goes into the chest. The tubes are called the right and left main stem bronchi (BRONK eye).

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -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.
