Which type of connective tissue is found in the trachea and between the ribs and sternum?
The hyaline cartilage forms most of the embryonic skeleton. It also forms coastal cartilages of ribs, cartilages of the nose, trachea and larynx.
What is the the respiratory structure that is palpable just above the sternum?
trachea
Describe the anatomic relationships among the larynx the trachea and the esophagus?
larynx serves as an airpassage between the pharynx and the trachea and trachea air consists of cartilage and connective tissue and extends from the lower end of the larynx into the chest cavity behind the heart . larynx and trachea is the tube called esophagus which trasports food from the pharynx to the stomach.
What is between trachea and lungs?
the trachea
What helps the trachea keep patent?
Supporting catilaginous rings keep it open.
What are the lungs and airways like?
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube about 4 inches long and less than an inch in diameter in most people. The trachea begins just under the larynx (voice box) and runs down behind the breastbone (sternum). The trachea then divides into two smaller tubes called bronchi: one bronchus for each lung.The trachea is composed of about 20 rings of tough cartilage. The back part of each ring is made of muscle and connective tissue. Moist, smooth tissue called mucosa lines the inside of the trachea. The trachea widens and lengthens slightly with each breath in, returning to its resting size with each breath out.hope it helped xxx
Which structure is located between the trachea and a bronchiole?
The larynx is the structure that is located between the trachea and the bronchial. The trachea is the tube that runs from the larynx to the bronchi.
What are the two branches of the pulmonary truck?
I am not so sure what are you reffering too: the respiratory system or the trachea alone. But for respiratory system there are two functional parts (1) a conducting system to bring the air in, including the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and bronchioles; and (2) the respiratory portion, the site of gas exchange, including the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar saccules, and alveoli. Trachea: The trachea connects the larynx and bronchi. It is lined with a mucus membrane with respiratory epithelium and a lamina propria, and a submucosa containing horseshoe shape hyaline cartilages and numerous mucus and mixed glands (Trachea 1). The gap between the ends of the cartilages is bridged by fibroelastic connective tissue and smooth muscle (Trachea 2). To increase expandability, the respiratory epithelium is underlaid with a lamina propria containing a distinct elastic lamina (Trachea 3). The trachea is surrounded by an adventitia which is a connective tissue layer shared with the esophagus (Trachea 4). Hope that answers your questions.
What is the passage way between the trachea and the lungs?
The passage between the nose that i fink u r looking the answer is the trachea which leads the air to the lungs
What happens to the shape of the trachea when you swallow a large mouthful of food?
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.
What structures keep the trachea supported and open?
The trachea is a firm cartilaginous tube and is a self supporting structure
What connects the trachea to your bronchioles?
The trachea connects the larynx to the primary bronchi.tracheaThe Tracheathe trachea. it is a distal continuation of the larynx at the level of the sixth cervical vertebrae. the trachea then bifurcates into two principal bronchi at the level of the intervertebral disc between the fourth and fifth thoracic vertebrae.TracheatracheatracheatracheaThe trachea, more commonly known as the windpipe.the tracheaThe pharnyx? I'm guessing.The airway between larynx and bronchi is the trachea , or the windpipe.
