keeps the trachea open when the head is bent or turned
What is a bone-like substance in the respiratory system?

Why must trachea stay open all the time?
no
What is a large ring of cartilage?

What is the meaning of trachea in respiratory system?
The trachea is a passage that enables air to travel between the Oral and Nasal cavities into the Bronchus, in order to reach the lungs. The trachea is supported by cartilage that keeps it open, however the rings are not complete (except for the Cricoid Cartilage) which allows for flexibility.
How is the structure of the trachea important for respiration as well as digestion?
The structure of the trachea consists of cilia and mucus-producing cells that help trap and remove particles and microorganisms from the air we breathe, protecting the lungs. This also helps to prevent foreign substances from entering the digestive system via inhalation. Therefore, the structure of the trachea plays a vital role in maintaining respiratory health while also supporting the separation of the respiratory and digestive systems.
What are element of respiratory system?
1) Nasal passage- This is your nose. Air enters here and is moistened, warmed, and cleaned. 2) Trachea- Your windpipe. It is held open by rings made of cartilage. Air passes through here. 3) Bronchi- Two tubes that branch from your Trachea. They each lead to a lung. 4) Bronchioles- Smaller branches coming from the Bronchi. 5) Lungs- An organ containing alveoli. 6) Alveoli- The smallest working part of the respiratory system, and the respiratory surface. They are moist and one-cell thick and are surrounded by capillaries for call exchange. That's about it :)
