i dont no the trachea is located just below the pharynx. when we breath the air enters the pharynx, the trachea, the bronchus,the bionchioles, the alveolus and finally enters th lungs so the trachea moves air into the bronchus.The trachea is made up of ring of cartillage which keep the trachea opened when we inspire and expire
