Introduction:
Trachea is commonly known as windpipe. It is the tubular pathway for the air and it is around 12 cm in length and 2.5 cm in width. It refers to the cartilaginous tube, which joins the larynx and pharynx to the lungs. It allows the air to pass and it is present in almost all the air-breathing animals.
