   Trachea
   The trachea (windpipe) is a nearly cylindrical tube, composed of cartilagious and membraneous tissues, and extending downwards from the lower part of the larynx to the level of the third dorsal vertebra, where it bifurcates into the two bronchi. It lies upon the oesophagus posteriorly, and is in relation with the cartoid arteries, the thyroid gland and its vessels, and the recurrent laryngeal and pneumogastric nerves. It carries air from the larynx to the bronchi.

    Trachea
    `Trachea` is a common biological term for an airway through which respiratory air transport takes place in organisms. The cells that line the trachea have minuscule hairs, which collect any dust that you inhale, and prevent it from entering your lungs. It is then removed by coughing. To prevent food from entering your windpipe, it has a small flap of skin at the entrance (epiglottis). When you eat, this flap closes over your trachea to prevent ...
