What would happen if the wall of the trachea is not supported by cartilage rings?
Answers
Our trachea or wind pipe is a long cylindrical tube that plays an important role in breathing. It is a soft tube that is supported by cartilage. Cartilage is a strong but flexible tissues when attached to trachea also known as tracheal cartilage. It supports the wind pipe to stand tall while moving and flexing during breathing. If these cartilage tissues are removed, our wind pipe would collapse.
