You are thinking of the trachea, or windpipe, though it is not entirely made of cartilage.
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.
cartilage
C shaped so that it can expand
It protects the anterior and lateral surfaces of the trachea. Also large masses of food can pass through the esophagus during swallowing.
In the trachea there are rings of cartilage in a C shape
Trachea is bounded by c-shaped ring to provide it support and flexibility
Trachea has a C-shaped cartilaginous ring.

The trachea is made of C shaped rings of cartilage, this maintains the shape of the trachea.

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.
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.
The trachea is a firm cartilaginous tube and is a self supporting structure
