Trachea

Trachea: A tube-like portion of the respiratory tract that connects the larynx with the bronchi. Also known as the windpipe, the trachea is located in the chest cavity and in the neck. This allows air to be transported down into the lungs where it is cycled into the bloodstream.
Find the trachea: a large air tube that lies anterior to the lungs. The trachea is easy to identify because of the cartilaginous rings that help keep it form collapsing as the animal inhales and exhales.

  2. Interesting article. I find myself feeling a little guilty of falling into your trap of how you get people to comment on your blogs. Besides that I really like a couple of ideas you present.
