The conducting airways transport atmospheric gases down the respiratory tract to the respiring airways, where gas exchange takes place. Gas exchange does not take place in the conducting airway, which contains cartilage, cilia, and mucosal cells.
The very lowest airways are involved in the exchange of gases (CO2 and O2).
The three groups of cartilage: hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage and elastic cartilage serve a supportive function to maintain an optimal anatomical position for an organ or to shield it from trauma.E.g. the c-shaped cartilage anterior to the trachea protects it from trauma, and the ear itself (which is mostly cartilage) keeps the ear in the optimal sound-recieving shape.
