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 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-3: -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-4: -The opening of windpipe is called glottis. This opening is guarded by a muscular flap called epiglottis. Epiglottis closes the windpipe when we swallow the food.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your trachea, or windpipe, is one part of your airway system. Airways are pipes that carry oxygen-rich air to your lungs. They also carry carbon dioxide, a waste gas, out of your lungs. When you inhale, air travels from your nose, through your larynx, and down your windpipe.
