What Is The Function Of The Trachea In The Human Body?

The function of the trachea is to maintain and protect the air way. It's lined with mucus glands which is humidifying as the air passes through it and catches the small particles before they enter. Trachea is supplied by nerves that are part of the cough reflex that helps get rid of irritation.

Trachea also called as wind pipe is tubular structure lying ventral to the oesophagus and extends to the thorax cavity. It is one of the most important part of the respiratory system. In vertebrates it consist of about 20 C-shaped cartilage rings which prevent the air passage from collapsing. It is the passage through which oxygen containing  air from the nostrils passes on to the lungs. Tachea is lined with the mucus secreting cells. The air passing through it also contain some dust particles, on passage through wind pipe these dust particles are trapped in the mucus thus the air is purified before entering into the lungs. In addition it is lined with the cilia that entrap foreign particles and by their movement push it upward to the pharynx through lyranx or helps its swallowing into the stomach.

The main function for the trachea is to maintain and protect the airway!

Trachea is a flexible tube which is located in front of esophagus,and the tube carries air to the lungs.

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.

Trachea is the function  of taking oxygen into the lungs and co2 outside the lungs.

The main function of trachea is respiration and protection of respiratory tract from foreign irritant material...it produces cough reflex in case of irritation or obstruction of trachea

It is the air way also known as the wind pipe which passes through organisms

Your trachea closes off your lungs when you swallow anything, so the food or liquid dose not enter into your lungs and kill you.
It is horidd when it dose not work.

Conduct air to and from the lungs

The trachea takes air to and from your lungs!

Trachea also called as wind pipe is tubular structure lying ventral to the oesophagus and extends to the thorax cavity. It is one of the most important part of the respiratory system. In vertebrates it consist of about 20 C-shaped cartilage rings which prevent the air passage from collapsing.

The function of the trachea  - it is a tube that carries gases (air and CO2) from the outside of your body to the INSIDE of your body (to your lungs).

The Trachea goes through your body. It starts at you Mouth and finishes at your Penis

Breathing

The trachea does not connect the head to the lungs you stupid person! It is you breathing and takes air from out side the body in to the lungs then from the lungs back out the body!! Your spine connects your head to you body.
