Yikes, no. It's a tube in the throat. You breathe through it. ---- As noted by the astute author of the answer above, the trachea is not a bone in the leg, it is commonly called the windpipe, or the "tube" through which air passes when we breathe. It is connected to the larynx (voicebox) in the neck and to the mainstem bronchi in the lungs.
The bone in the leg that starts with a 'T' is the tibia, and is commonly called the shinbone.
