Answers
Answer:
we we can't breath in and out trachea get collide and we die
Answer:
Trachea or wind pipe generally consists of cartilaginous rings inside them which are generally C-shaped rings.
The role of this cartilaginous rings is to maintain the shape of the trachea and enables the lumen of trachea to be open for breathing.
These rings are incomplete in nature in the anterior and lateral sides of the trachea so that this helps in the passage of food to the oesophagus by collapsing the trachea slightly.
A flap like structure called epiglottis closes the mouth of the larynx during swallowing so as to prevent the food entering into the trachea.
When the cartilaginous rings are completely removed, it leads to the complete collapse of the trachea and thus leads to difficulty in breathing and can cause suffocation and in severe cases can lead to extreme fatality and death.
