This is part of breathing in, or inspiration. The trachea splits into the two bronchi (singular: bronchus) one of which goes to each lung.
The trachea is the formal name of what is commonly called the windpipe. It functions as the pathway through which air is inhaled and exhaled to and from the lungs.
After air passes through the larynx, it enters your windpipe, or trachea. The trachea cleans the air again and channels it into the lungs through two large tubes called bronchi. The bronchi divide into smaller tubes and eventually lead to air sacs called alveoli. It is in the alveoli that oxygen moves into your blood and carbon dioxide moves out.
It protects the anterior and lateral surfaces of the trachea. Also large masses of food can pass through the esophagus during swallowing.
The large airways that branch off the trachea are the mainstem bronchi. These branch into progressively smaller bronchioles.
Having no cartilage between the trachea and esophagus allows the trachea to collapse slightly during swallowing, making it easier for the esophagus to expand. This helps prevent food from entering the trachea and ensures that we can breathe and swallow properly.
Primary brochi first enter the lungs on both the left and right sides.
The bronchial tubes connect the trachea (breathing tube) to the lungs.
To transport air into the lungs and ultimately the alveoli.
Trachea have cartillage rings which support it. And the Alveoli has large surface area for diffusion and its moist and thin.
