Which structure has no ccartillage rings?

The trachea, or windpipe, contains cartilage rings to maintain its structure, while the bronchi and bronchioles progressively decrease in cartilage as they branch into smaller airways. However, the alveoli, the tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs, have no cartilage rings at all. Instead, they are composed of thin elastic tissue that allows for expansion and contraction during breathing.

What tube in the neck with rings of cartilage?

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.
