When we breathe out, the air passage remains open due to the structural support provided by cartilage rings in the trachea and bronchi, which prevent collapse. Additionally, the negative pressure created during expiration helps maintain the airway's patency. The surrounding muscles and the elastic recoil of the lung tissue also assist in keeping the airways open, ensuring a smooth passage for air.
