Trachea - Vertebrate Trachea
The trachea, or windpipe, is a tube extending from the larynx to the bronchi in mammals, and from the pharynx to the syrinx in birds, carrying air to the lungs. It is lined with ciliated cells which push particles out and cartilage rings which reinforce the trachea and prevent it from collapsing on itself during the breathing process. These numerous cartilaginous half-rings, located one above the other along the trachea have open ends adjacent to the oesophagus. The rings are connected by muscular and fibrous tissue, and they are lined inside with a ciliated mucous membrane.
In ill or injured persons, the natural airway formed by the trachea may be damaged or closed off. Intubation is the medical procedure of inserting an artificial tube into the trachea to permit breathing. See also choking.
Diseases of the trachea include:
- Tracheobronchitis
- Tracheomalacia
- Tracheal fracture
- Airway obstruction
- Malignancy
