Is a trachea hard?
Yes, the trachea is quite hard. It contains cartilage rings which provide rigidity.
What keeps the trachea from collapsing?
The hyaline cartilage provide support to prevent it from collapsing..im pretty sure they're also called "Rings of Cartilage"Trachea does not collapse even when there is no air in it because it is supported by rings of soft bones alled cartilage rings.
Why do the walls of the trachea do not collapse because they contain?
The walls of trachea contain c-shaped rings or cartilagenous rings.These soft bones provide rigidity to the trachea , that is why the walls of trachea doesn't collapse when there is less air.
What do your bronchi and brochioles do?
bronchi and brochioles provide air to the lung. They carry both oxygen and co2.
What does the bronchi and brochioles do?
Actually bronchi and brochioles provide air to the lung. They carry both o2 and co2.
What is the main function of the bronchioles?
There are two primary bronchi which are the first divisions branching off from the trachea to take air into the lungs. The primary bronchi then subdivide into lobar bronchi and then again into tertiary bronchi which continue to divide until they are tiny bronchioles which supply each of the alveoli in the lungs. The left primary bronchus leads to the left lung and the right primary bronchus leads into the right lung. The bronchi contain rings of hyaline cartilage which help to provide flexible support to the airways.
What are the functions of ligaments and cartilage in the joint?
Ligaments are strong, flexible bands (or cords) which hold bones firmly together at the joints.Cartilage in adults provide a strong, flexible support between bones and wherever great strength and degree of rigidity is needed.

Do C-shaped cartilage rings maintain the openness of the trachea?
Yes, the C-shaped cartilage rings maintain the openness of the trachea. The rings provide structural support to the trachea, preventing it from collapsing and maintaining its shape. The open ends of the C-shape allow for flexibility during movement, such as swallowing or bending of the neck.
Name the structure which provide rigidity in an animal cell?
centriols
Bronchi denfinition and role?
A tube like structure. bronchi and brochioles provide air to the lung. They carry both oxygen and co2.
What are the C-shaped rings in the trachea called?
Trachea is bounded by c-shaped ring to provide it support and flexibility
