Trachea

The medical name for the windpipe is the Trachea English [spelling] pronounced tra-kee-a. At the begining of the windpipe is the Larynx pronounced la-rinx and this contains the vocal cords and is commonly called the voice box. The trachea continues from the larynx and runs down almost to the lungs but before it reaches them it divides into two tubes, one for each lung and they are called the left bronchus and the right bronchus, or the bronchi if you are refering to them both.
