PATHOLOGY

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: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your trachea’s main function is to carry air in and out of your lungs. Because it’s a stiff, flexible tube, it provides a reliable pathway for oxygen to enter your body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The larynx is the upper opening into the windpipe (trachea), the passageway to the lungs. Epiglottis-a flap of soft tissue and cartilage located just above the vocal cords.
