Where does the trachea extend to?
The trachea extends from the larynx down into the lungs. Its major function is that it connects the larynx and pharynx to the lungs and allows humans to breathe.
How does the trachea compare to the esophagus?
The trachea is in front of the esophagus. The trachea is for breathing while the esophagus is for delivering food to the stomach.
I think what you mean is tachycardia, which is faster than normal heart ranges. tachys:rapidor accelerated - kardia or cardia: of the heart. The Trachea is part of your lower airway system.
To maintain and protect the air way, by its cartilegenous ring,and traping (stiking )of tiny dust particle on the mucosal surface,and remove it by coughing up,

Can tussigan halp dogs with collapsed trachea?
It has helped my dog to sleep at night (and thus US to sleep at night) in the past few years. But he's about 18 years old now and the gagging has become constant -- he gags when you pick him up, he gags when you put him down, he gags when he goes up 2 steps (if he can get up them), he gags when he gets up and takes two steps .... But I continue to give it to him for night-time, in case it's helping (could be worse?). Another vet I consulted about Ed's collapsed trachea and other ailments thought that what he prescribes, which relaxes the trachea (sorry, I don't recall the name of it), works better than Tussigan. I did not try it (other dogs had other issues at the time); Ed's so old that he gets his Rimadyl in the morning and his Tussigan at night and we lift and carry him all around the house and clean up after accidents and, well, you know -- old dog care!
Does The epiglottis cover the top part of the ear canal?
No, the epiglottis covers the top part of the trachea.
Why are cartilaginous rings in the trachea advantageous?
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.
The epithelial tissue found in areas subject to considerable stretching?
Transitional epithelium is found in areas that are subject to considerable stretching. Tissue in the bladder, urethra, ureters, an prostate often expand and contract.
Why partial pressure of O2 falls from trachea to alveoli?
There is more space that is occupied by H20 in the alveoli than the trachea. (BTPS - body tempertaure ,pressure saturated)
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal. The spinal canal is the space in your spinal column designed to house and protect the spinal cord. The 7 bones of your neck are known as cervical vertebrae. The narrowing of your spinal canal is most severe at the level of the 4th and 5th cervical vertebrae (C4-5.) Impingement is a term that describes a body structure, usually bone, pushing into either a nerve structure or part of the cord. The cord is divided into ventral, or front, and dorsal, or back. Also the lateral, or side structure are being affected. To sum up, at the level of the 4th and 5th vertabrae of the neck, you have an impingement of the front and side portion of your spinal cord.
It means narrowing.
Structure of the trachea
The trachea is lined by cartilage and divided into two branches. These two branches are called the bronchi. The left bronchus enters the left lung and the right bronchus enters the right lung. Each bronchus is further divided into around 25 smaller branches. These smaller divisions of bronchi are known as the bronchioles. The bronchioles carry air into the alveoli.
What happens to a oxygen molecule when it passes through the trachea?
When an oxygen molecule passes through the trachea, it travels through the airway as part of the respiratory process. The trachea, lined with cilia and mucus, helps filter, warm, and humidify the air before it reaches the lungs. As the oxygen continues into the bronchi and eventually the alveoli, it is prepared for gas exchange, where it will diffuse into the bloodstream to be transported to cells throughout the body.
Yes, the trachea is quite hard. It contains cartilage rings which provide rigidity.
The incomplete sections of the tracheal rings allow the esophagus to do what?
Expand into the trachea when swallowing a food bolus (chunk of food)
What is the purpose of the mucous membrane and cilia in the trachea?
Mucous membranes and cilia in the trachea trap and eliminate particulate matter from inhaled air. The membranes also warm and moisten incoming air.
What type muscle is the trachea?
The trachea is mostly cartilage, surrounded by smooth muscle, which is an autonomic muscle type, meaning we can't consciously control it
The trachea
What are the main branches of Christianity?
The main branches of Christianity are Protestantism and Catholicism.
