The trachea is a windpipe-a tough flexible tube that is about 12 centimeters long in adults. The larynx, which is positioned right above the tracheae, is connected to this windpipe with a flexible cartilage called the Cricoid cartilage. The lower parts of the trachea are flexible using Tracheal cartilages. They help a person bend to the sides and yet they don't restrict breathing. This material is made from cartilage and a few smooth muscle fibers for added strength.
