The trachea has cartilage rings to maintain its structure and keep it open, ensuring that the airway remains clear for unobstructed airflow to and from the lungs. These rings provide rigidity while allowing some flexibility, enabling the trachea to expand and contract during breathing. Additionally, the C-shaped design of the rings prevents the trachea from collapsing, especially when pressure changes occur during activities like swallowing or coughing.
because trachea need support for open all the time and this support is cartilage rings
Cartilaginous rings
cartilage rings give support to trachea to open all the time
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.
Trachea is bounded by c-shaped ring to provide it support and flexibility
In the trachea there are rings of cartilage in a C shape
the trachea is held open by rings of cartilages
The trachea (windpipe) is the tube in the neck with rings of cartilage. It connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi, allowing air to pass in and out of the lungs. The rings of cartilage help to keep the trachea open and prevent it from collapsing.
16-20 rings!
trachea has cartilage rings which it open all the time
The trachea is made of C shaped rings of cartilage, this maintains the shape of the trachea.
because of the cartilage rings trachea opened all the time
