- This is C-shaped cartilage that allows the esophagus to stretch into the trachea.
- This is also known as your "windpipe." It is responsible for transporting air for respiration from the larynx to the bronchi.
- It is commonly called the throat and it connects the nasal and oral cavities to the larynx and esophagus.
- This structure covers the trachea to prevent food and drink from going down the airway.
- These bronchi have 5 branches.
- It serves as an air passage in the upper part of the throat behind the nose.
- A muscular and cartilaginous structure that holds the vocal cords. This organ is used to breathe, talk and swallow.
