What is the function of incomplete ring of trachea to respiration?
The rings are to keep the trachea open but they are not complete posteriorly because the esophagus runs there. The soft space allows the esophagus to fully expand when food is passed down to the stomach.
The esophagus and trachea are both open to the?
The esophagus and trachea open into the throat and mouth.
Is NAD reduced or oxidized during cellular respiration?
NAD is reduced during cellular respiration.
What is released by the as waste during respiration?
carbon dioxide
What has cartilage rings to prevent collapse during respiration?
Tracheal cartilage rings provide support and prevent collapse of the trachea during respiration. They are C-shaped structures made of hyaline cartilage that keep the trachea open to maintain a patent airway for the passage of air in and out of the lungs.
Is the esophagus a common passageway for respiration and digestion?
No, the esophagus only functions in digestion. The trachea is the passageway for respiration.

What is patulous esophagus?
A patulent esophagus is a widened area often associated with Barrett's Esophagus.
Passageway for food that is behind the trachea?
The passageway for food that is behind the trachea is the esophagus. After swallowing, food travels down the esophagus to reach the stomach for digestion, while air goes down the trachea to enter the lungs for respiration.
The esophagus and trachea are both open to the?
The esophagus and trachea open into the throat and mouth.
Why is the windpipe in front of food pipe?
The windpipe, or trachea, is located in front of the food pipe, or esophagus, to facilitate efficient breathing and swallowing. This positioning allows the trachea to remain open for airflow while the esophagus can expand during the passage of food. The body has a protective mechanism called the epiglottis that covers the trachea when swallowing, preventing food from entering the airway. This anatomical arrangement helps ensure that both respiration and digestion can occur without interference.
What gas is created during respiration?
Carbon dioxide is created during respiration.
Is NAD reduced or oxidized during cellular respiration?
NAD is reduced during cellular respiration.
What is released by the as waste during respiration?
carbon dioxide
What occurs during the first stage of respiration?
Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm during the first stage of respiration.
What is a waste product of respiration that producers take in during photosynthesis?
co2 is exhaled during respiration & producers take it in during photosynthesis
