The trachea is supported by C-shaped rings of cartilage. The point at which there is no cartilage is where the trachea is in contact with the oesophagus. As a large bolus of food passes down the oesophagus the elastic walls expand to accommodate it. This is made possible by the absence of cartilage on the trachea. However, the trachea is prevented from collapsing due to the supporting cartilage around the rest of it.
