What is the function of the cartilage rings of the trachea?
protect trachea from external shock and also prevent it of collapsing The open portion of the C-shaped rings is posterior (toward the back). The back of the trachea has a tough but flexible membrane covering the spaces. This permits food boluses (big wads of food) to pass through the esophagus, which is behind the trachea. Even a large chunk of food in the expandable esophagus will not completely press the trachea closed.
What is the purpose of the cartilage surrounding the trachea?
Cartilage is necessary in the wall of the trachea because it supports the trachea and keeps it open at all times. New born babies do not have these rings of cartilage around their trachea, which is why their heads need to always be supported carefully.
