Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Your trachea (TRAY-kee-uh) is a long, U-shaped tube that connects your larynx (voice box) to your lungs. The trachea is often called the windpipe. It’s a key part of your respiratory system. When you breathe in, air travels from your nose or mouth through your larynx.
Detailed explanation-2: -The trachea (windpipe) is the largest airway. The trachea branches into two smaller airways: the left and right mainstem [or main] bronchi. Each lung is divided into sections (lobes): three in the right lung and two in the left lung.
Detailed explanation-3: -A nasal cannula is generally used wherever small amounts of supplemental oxygen are required, without rigid control of respiration, such as in oxygen therapy.
