Trachea is commonly known as the wind pipe.

Explanation:

• Trachea is the tube which passes the air inhaled through the nostrils to the lungs.
• The air inhaled enters the mouth and then enters the Pharynx (throat).
• There is a small flap like structure called Epiglottis present on the top of the Trachea which closes when food is being swallowed.
• This tube is the connecting tissue of between the Larynx (voice box) and the Bronchus (sac like structures) within the lungs.
• It is the passageway for the air inhaled and exhaled.
