'Bifurcate' means 'split or divide into two'. The trachea bifurcates at T5 and T7 vertebral level. It is the point where the trachea splits in two so that air can enter the left and right side seperately. It is like a back up system that the body has so that one side can still function if the other side fails. 'Bifurcate' means 'split or divide into two'.

Carina of trachea. In anatomy, the carina is a ridge of cartilage in the trachea that occurs between the division of the two main bronchi. This occurs at the lower end of the trachea (usually at the level of the 4th thoracic vertebra, which is in line with the sternal angle, but may raise or descend up to two vertebrae higher or lower with breathing). This ridge lies to the left of the midline, and runs antero-posteriorly (front to back). Foreign bodies that fall down the trachea are more likely to enter the right bronchus. The mucous membrane of the carina is the most sensitive area of the trachea and larynx for triggering a cough reflex.
