What else can I help you with?
Does the trachea have skeletal muscle?
No, the trachea does not have skeletal muscle. Instead, it is composed of smooth muscle, cartilage, and connective tissue. Smooth muscle allows for involuntary control of the trachea's diameter and airflow.
Is there muscle tissue in the trachea?
The trachea itself is made of ligaments and cartilage, but there are muscles in the region around the trachea.
When You view the inner surface of the trachea under the microscope What type of tissue would you see?
You would see muscle tissue.
What is the trachaelis muscle?
Helps expell mucus from trachea
What muscle covers the trachea in a cat?
All of the neck muscles except the cricothyroid muscle.
The gap in the dorsal part of the trachea is bridged by?
Smooth Muscle
What is located on the posterior side of the trachea and allows the esophagus to expand anteriorly during swallowing?
The trachealis muscle is located on the posterior side of the trachea and allows the esophagus to expand anteriorly during swallowing.
What is an example of a smooth involuntary muscle?
ones that line the walls of the trachea and bronchioles
Why each structure of trachea is an adaptation?
The trachea is a structure present in the throat of all animals. The adaptation of the trachea is to pass food into the stomach using specialized muscle contractions.
Does the trachea enter the lungs?
According to a figure in my human biology book if the trachea and the Bronchus is made out of the same matter then the Trachea does enter the lung. Unless the bronchus is made out of unique tissue muscle etc.
Why are cartiladges in your trachea?
The trachea needs to be sturdy but pliable, bone would be too rigid and muscle is too soft to keep it's shape through breathing and swallowing.
What is the result of sympathetic stimulation on the trachea?
Sympathetic stimulation of the trachea causes the trachealis muscle to relax, giving the trachea a large cross-sectional area. This allows increased air flow because of the increased diameter and less resistance.
