The trachea, or windpipe, is essential for respiration as it serves as the main airway that connects the larynx to the lungs. It allows for the passage of air in and out of the lungs, facilitating gas exchange. The trachea is also lined with cilia and mucus that trap and expel foreign particles, helping to keep the respiratory system clear and functioning properly. Without a healthy trachea, effective breathing and oxygen delivery to the body would be compromised.
