(tray´ kee ah) [Gr. trakhoia: a small tube] • A tube that carries air to the bronchi of the lungs of vertebrates, or to the cells of arthropods.
the tube descending from the larynx and branching into the two main bronchi.
a long tube connecting the mouth to the bronchial tubes connected to the lungs.
tube that joins the bronchi to the lungs
tracheia = rough; respiratory tube which, in relaxed state, has corrugations due to cartilage rings.
Tube extending from the larynx to the bronchi and carrying air to the lungs.
A cartilaginous and membranous tube beginning at the larynx and extending to the bifurcation, where it branches into the right and left main bronchi. image
pl. tracheae( trake-ee-a) [Gk. tracheia, rough] Tiny air tubes that branch throughout the insect body for gas exchange.
The tube at the back of the bird's tongue which leads to the lungs. When tube feeding or tube worming a bird, the tube should NOT go through this entry else the bird will drown. Gently touching the opening of this tube with a Q-Tip will cause a reflexive closure of the epiglottis if the bird is responsive.
tube that connects the pharynx to the lungs
Tubular organ that leads from the larynx to the bronchi.
The largest breathing tube in the body, passing from the throat down to the chest (where it connects to the two bronchi leading to the lungs).
a tubular structure of the insect gas exchange system. Tracheae are elastic, spirally ringed tubes that allow gases to move throughout the insect body.
membranous tube with cartilaginous rings that conveys inhaled air from the larynx to the bronchi
one of the tubules forming the respiratory system of most insects and many arachnids
a pipe-like structure in our throats that leads to the lungs and allows air to flow through
Greek tracheia = rough, referring to its corrugations.
The body part that air passes through on its way to the lungs.
(TRA-kee-aw) An organ of the respiratory system that consists of a long tube supported by rings of cartilage extending from the pharynx to the bronchi.
A tube that carries air to the lungs (in a vertebrate) or to other body tissues (in an insect).
The part of the airway which conducts air to the lungs.
Windpipe, breathing tube, the structure that connects the back of the mouth with the lungs.
(tray-key-uh) - Your windpipe that leads to your bronchial tubes.
In insects and spiders, a series of tubes that carry air directly to cells for gas exchange; in humans, the air-conducting duct that leads from the pharynx to the lungs. PICTURE 1 | PICTURE 2
Windpipe; extends from the mouth area to the lungs, where it connects with the bronchi.
The air tube extending from the larynx into the thorax where it bifurcates (splits) into the right and left mainstem bronchi.
in the respiratory tract of most land vertabrates, the tube extending from the larynx to the two bronchi
Medical term for windpipe.
The main body of the system of tubes by which air passes to and from the lungs that is approximately 4 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. The trachea extends down the front of the neck from the larynx and divides into two to form the bronchi. The walls are stiffened, (by cartilaginous rings) fibrous, muscle tissue composed of columnar ciliated mucus-secreting cells.
the pipe through which air passes to reach the lungs. The trachea starts in the neck, immediately below the voice box (larynx), and descends a few centimetres into the chest before branching to form the two bronchi, one of which goes into each lung.
Main airway that runs from the base of the throat down to the lungs. Divides into the two main bronchi (right and left) that supply each lung with air.
Windpipe leading from the throat to lungs.
A tube-like portion of the breathing or "respiratory" tract that connects the "voice box" (larynx) with the bronchial parts of the lungs. See the entire definition of Trachea
medical name for `windpipe,' the airway that connects the back of the throat to the lungs. The trachea is the largest airway and divides into two bronchi.
windpipe; the tube that extends from the throat to the bronchial tubes of the lungs.
Windpipe; the tube that runs from the throat (pharynx) and voice box (larynx) down into the lungs.
The trachea is a cartilaginous tube descending from the larynx and branching into the bronchi.
windpipe. The air passage leading into the larynx from below.
Trachea are tiny tubes that carry air through a butterfly (or moth) body.
The main trunk of the system of tubes by which air passes to and from the lungs in vertebrates.
upper part of respiratory tract
