The opening in the tracheal respiratory system is the brronchi.
For humans the foremost opening is the nostrils/ mouth then the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles
The glottis is like a flap that protects the opening of the trachea.
Nostrils .
The larynx is at the superior (or cephalad) end of the trachea and is located just below the epiglottis and glottic opening. The trachea and larynx are connected and are typically in the same plane.
The C-shaped cartilage rings surrounding the trachea act as a support system, and allow the trachea to remain opened and prevent collapse with normal body movements.
A tracheotomy is a surgical procedure in which a cut or opening is made in the windpipe (trachea). The surgeon inserts a tube into the opening to bypass an obstruction, allow air to get to the lungs, or remove secretions.
The upper airway : hairs in the nose, mucus in the trachea & bronchia, the vocal cords (turbulence drives dust to the outside if the air flow)
i believe the answer you're looking for is the trachea. correction; It is the Rima glottidis
The epiglottis protects the trachea from food.
Tracheotomy Trache/o- Trachea -tomy = Surgical opening
The Glottis
The epiglottis controls the opening to the trachea. It closes the larynx during swallowing so food will not enter the windpipe.

the air cannot pass through trachea
Esophagus
The epiglottis covers the opening to the trachea when swallowing - thereby preventing food/drink entering the trachea and lungs.
The trachea is the tube leading to the lungs. There has to be an opening to the lungs for breathing to occur. It our lungs were not attached to the mouth via the trachea, then the lungs would need an opening elsewhere. Besides, the trachea is for speaking as well, and you exhale across your vocal folds as you speak.
The larynx is an organ in the neck of mammals which protects the trachea and produces sound.

Yes, dogs can have a tracheotomy, which is a temporary surgical opening of the trachea. It is often performed to remove obstructions, collect specimens, or facilitate airflow. Tracheostomies, which includes placing a tube in the trachea or creating a permanent opening in the trachea are also performed on dogs. Answered by a Veterinarian
