the trachea
No trachea is not the lung.
pharnyx is a common passageway for food and air. it is connected to the nasal passages by 2 internal nares and also connected to the oral cavity. the larnyx connects the pharnyx to the trachea (commonly known as the windpipe). pharnyx also connects the mouth to the esophagus. the glottis is the opening of the trachea, it is covered by the epiglottis which serves to separate the esophagus from the trachea.
That tube is the trachea.
tThe trachea ends at the bronchia which takes air from the trachea to the lungs.
the trachea (windpipe)
The trachea is a part of the respiratory system while the esophagus forms part of the digestive system. Since they belong to different systems, they perform separate functions. The trachea is larger and carries gasses in and out of the lungs. The esophagus is smaller and carries food from the mouth to the stomach.
