What is the function of a trachea?
The function of the trachea is the same in all terrestrial vertebrates. It provides an airway from the mouth to the bronchi.
When you breathe in do your lungs go up and out?
When you breath, your lungs can go up and out a little, but mostly, your lungs go down. The breathing device is the diaphragm, a sheet of muscles going across your chest inside front to back. As the diaphragm 'bends' itself down, the lungs have to move with it and get bigger. When the lungs get bigger, they have no choice but to suck in more air through the mouth or nose. When the diaphragm 'bends' or moves upward, air is pushed out of the lungs.
Does lungs absorb food and liquid that goes down into lungs?
No. Food and liquids should not go down into the lungs. That is why one coughs excessively when food or liquid "goes down the wrong tube." Aspiration is the term for breathing food or liquid into the lungs, and frequently causes a severe pneumonitis and may result in pneumonia.
