About this document
Trachea: Anatomy and Relations by Shimmering Moon is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The trachea is a cartilaginous tube that begins at the larynx and extends down the neck into the thorax, where it divides into the two main bronchi. It is kept open by rings of hyaline cartilage and connects to structures like the esophagus, great vessels, and nerves. The bronchi then branch within the lungs, dividing further into smaller bronchioles and alveolar ducts that lead to alveolar sacs where gas exchange occurs.
