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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The larynx, commonly called the voice box or glottis, is the passageway for air between the pharynx above and the trachea below.

Detailed explanation-4: -The trachea is a hollow, tube-like structure that runs from the larynx, or voice box, to the bronchi-the two passageways that connect the trachea to the lungs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sometimes you may swallow and cough because something “went down the wrong pipe.” The body has two “pipes” – the trachea (windpipe), which connects the throat to the lungs; and the esophagus, which connects the throat to the stomach.
