Carina

CARINA
Trapping dust and for coughing
The carina lies at the tracheal area of the human body . The ridge lies to the left of the midline and objects s that go through the trachea are likely to enter the right bronchus. The mucous membrane of the carina is the most sensitive area of the trachea and larynx.
The carina is an internal cartilaginous ridge at the distal end of the trachea. The carina is sensitive to touch. The sensation of touch will be carried by the vagus nerve to the cough reflex centre in the brain stem.
