They prevent the trachea from collapsing when there is no air in it. Being rings they allow for more movement, and being cartilage (as opposed to bone) they are softer and allow for some flexibility.
Cartilaginous rings
Trachea has a C-shaped cartilaginous ring.
The function of cartilaginous rings in a trachea is to prevent collapse of trachea. The trachea shouldn't not collapse if so you will die due to suffocation.
Cartilaginous rings
The trachea has cartilaginous rings or Tracheal rings to support its structure and maintain a hollow interior in all positions.~Pain ^_^
In a pig's trachea, the cartilaginous rings are complete upon birth. In men and women, the cartilaginous rings are not complete.
The function of the cartilaginous rings in pigs is to provide adequate support for the trachea. Without the cartilaginous ring the pig would be in danger of their throat collapsing when the animal inhales and exhales.
yes there are 16-20 semicirculated rings are present which make trachea 10 to 11 cm long

Trachea is bounded by c-shaped ring to provide it support and flexibility
Reinforcement of the trachea with cartilaginous rings prevents its collapse during inhalation due to negative pressure in the thoracic cavity. These rings provide structural support to keep the airway open and ensure proper airflow into the lungs. Without this support, the trachea could collapse, leading to breathing difficulties.
The trachea is a firm cartilaginous tube and is a self supporting structure
