TRACHEA or windpipe, is the bony tube that connects the nose and mouth to the lungs, and is an important part of the vertebrate respiratory system. In mammals, the trachea begins at the lower part of the larynx and continues to the lungs, where it branches into the right and left bronchi.

Trachea:
The trachea or the windpipe emerges from the larynx down below in the neck where it is partly covered by the thyroid gland. Its walls are strengthened by C-shaped rings of cartilage, the incomplete parts of the rings being on the back side. The rings provide flexibility and keep the trachea distended permanently.
