Detailed explanation-1: -The airway that leads from the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi (large airways that lead to the lungs). Also called windpipe.
Detailed explanation-2: -The bronchi (singular. bronchus) extend from the trachea (also called the “windpipe"). [2] Together, these two structures form the tracheobronchial tree of the lungs. The trachea is the trunk of the tree located in the superior mediastinum.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your bronchi (BRAWN-kai) are the large tubes that connect to your trachea (windpipe) and direct the air you breathe to your right and left lungs. They are in your chest. Bronchi is the plural form of bronchus. The left bronchus carries air to your left lung.
Detailed explanation-4: -The trachea is a midline structure and lies just anterior the esophagus. After it originates from the larynx, the trachea divides into the left and right mainstem bronchi. This junction point is called the carina.
Detailed explanation-5: -The tracheal cartilage is organized into rings of hyaline cartilage providing structural support and preventing the tracheal wall from collapsing while breathing. The main bronchi are the two primary branches of the trachea that carry air to the lungs.
