If a tumor in the trachea is removed that was decreasing the trachea's diameter by half the area of the trachea's cross section and the flow of air through it would what?
The removal of the tumor would effectively restore the trachea's diameter and consequently increase the area of its cross section. This would lead to an improvement in the flow of air through the trachea due to reduced obstruction.
What makes the wall of the trachea rigid?
The wall of the trachea is rigid due to the presence of C-shaped cartilage rings that provide structural support and prevent collapse during breathing. These cartilage rings maintain the patency of the airway and help to protect and support the trachea.
