"Trachea" is the medical term for the windpipe. It is primarily the passage through which oxygenated air passes to the lungsand through which carbon dioxide is then expelled.
At the lower end of the trachea lies the branch which forms the bronchi, which lead to the lungs.
At the upper end of the trachea lies the larynx, more commonly known as the voice box.
The epiglottis (literally "behind the tongue") is a small muscular flap which is synchronised with the back of the throat and the upper end of the oesophagus (the food pipe). Its action is to briefly seal the trachea while food is swallowed or during vomiting.
