What tube in the neck with rings of cartilage?
The trachea (windpipe) is the tube in the neck with rings of cartilage. It connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi, allowing air to pass in and out of the lungs. The rings of cartilage help to keep the trachea open and prevent it from collapsing.
What prevents windpipe from collapsing?
Rings of Cartilage prevents the windpipe from collapsing.cartilage ringsIt is constructed of inflexible cartilage that always maintains it's shape.

What is a windpipe made of?
The windpipe, also known as the trachea, is primarily composed of cartilage rings that help maintain its structure and prevent it from collapsing. The inner lining of the windpipe is made up of ciliated epithelial cells that help trap particles and keep the airway clear. Additionally, there are muscle fibers within the walls of the windpipe that allow it to contract and expand during breathing.
Why are the walls of windpipe made of 'stiff' material?
So it doesn't collapse when you breathe. =]
Muslcle hole that opens into your windpipe?
The muscle hole that opens into your windpipe is called the epiglottis. It is a flap of cartilage that prevents food and liquid from entering your windpipe when you swallow, instead directing them towards your esophagus.
Why is the trachea stiffened with cartilage rings?
So your windpipe won't collapse when you move your head.
The structure that prevents material from entering the windpipe?
The epiglottis is the flap of tissue that prevents food and liquid from entering the windpipe (trachea) when you swallow. It acts like a lid over the windpipe, directing food and liquid down the esophagus to the stomach.
Where in the body is the hyaline cartilage located?
You can find hyaline cartilage in your trachea or "windpipe" They are "c" ringed shaped.
What structure makes the windpipe stay open but able to bend?
The windpipe, or trachea, is made up of C-shaped rings of cartilage that keep it open to allow air to pass through. These rings are flexible, allowing the windpipe to bend slightly without collapsing during movements like swallowing or bending over.
What makes up the c rings of the trachea?
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.
