Explanation:

Hey ❤

✦The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube about 4 inches long and less than an inch in diameter in most people. The trachea begins just under the larynx (voice box) and runs down behind the breastbone (sternum). The trachea then divides into two smaller tubes called bronchi: one bronchus for each lung.

✦The trachea is composed of about 20 rings of tough cartilage. The back part of each ring is made of muscle and connective tissue. Moist, smooth tissue called mucosa lines the inside of the trachea. The trachea widens and lengthens slightly with each breath in, returning to its resting size with each breath out.

Additional information -:

Tracheal stenosis : Inflammation in the trachea can lead to scarring and narrowing of the windpipe. Surgery or endoscopy may be needed to correct the narrowing (stenosis), if severe.

✦ Tracheoesophageal fistula : An abnormal channel forms to connect the trachea and the esophagus. Passage of swallowed food from the esophagus into the trachea causes serious lung problems.

✦ Tracheal foreign body : An object is inhaled (aspirated) and lodges in the trachea or one of its branches. A procedure called bronchoscopy is usually needed to remove a foreign body from the trachea.

✦ Tracheal cancer : Cancer of the trachea is quite rare. Symptoms can include coughing or difficulty breathing.

✦Tracheomalacia : The trachea is soft and floppy rather than rigid, usually due to a birth defect. In adults, tracheomalacia is generally caused by injury or by smoking.

✦ Tracheal obstruction : A tumor or other growth can compress and narrow the trachea, causing difficulty breathing. A stent or surgery is needed to open the trachea and improve breathing.

Answer:Your trachea, or windpipe, is one part of your airway system. Airways are pipes that carry oxygen-rich air to your lungs. They also carry carbon dioxide, a waste gas, out of your lungs. When you inhale, air travels from your nose, through your larynx, and down your windpipe.

Explanation:

But trachea is not a tissue so The answer will be - Skeletal tissue is a solid connective tissue . it is of two types - cartilage and bone .

Cartilage is mainly supporting connective tissue composed of firm but elastic matrix with cartilage cells . The cells are found in groups of two or more . Cartilage occurs in the windpipe ear and nose cartilage act as a shock absorber for the bones ..

Bones make up the skeleton of an animal. The ground substance or the matrix is filled with salt such as calcium phosphate , calcium carbonate , magnesium phosphate and calcium fluoride . The matrix is in the form of concentric rings around the Central Canal . Bone cells are embedded in the matrix and occupy a small space ..
