Answer:
Cartilaginous rings are present in the trachea to stabilize it and keep it rigid while allowing the trachea to expand and lengthen when the person breathes.
Explanation:
if it was not structured this way then it would easily collapse because of the pressure of the chest.
there are about 15 to 20 rings present on an average in the trachea.
