The Cricoid cartilage.
The larynx is the organ at the end of the upper respiratory tract (responsible for preventing food and drink going down the airway and contains the vocal chords) the trachea is the first organ in the lower respiratory tract (the windpipe). The thyroid cartilage is located around the mid to lower larynx and the cricoid cartilage links the bottom of the larynx to the top of the trachea. The epithelial cells (internal surface) change from mostly squamous cells (smooth lining) to columnar epithelial cells (many with microscopic hairlike protrusions called cilia).
