    Trachea is also known as windpipe. It is a tube that has inner diameter of 20-25 mm and is 10-16 cm in length. It starts at the larynx and bifurcates into bronchi and allows the passage of air into the lungs.

    Trachea allows the passage of air into lungs. It produces mucus with pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium cells. The C-shapes Cartilaginous rings on the sides for protecting and maintaining the airway.
