PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -(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-2: -The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube about 4 inches long and less than an inch in diameter in most people. The trachea begins just under the larynx (voice box) and runs down behind the breastbone (sternum). The trachea then divides into two smaller tubes called bronchi: one bronchus for each lung.

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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Larynx-also known as the voice box, the larynx is a cylindrical grouping of cartilages, muscles and soft tissue that contains the vocal cords. 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.
