Your trachea, or windpipe, is one part of your airway system. Airways are pipes that carry oxygen-rich air to your lungs. They also carry carbon dioxide, a waste gas, out of your lungs. When you inhale, air travels from your nose, through your larynx, and down your windpipe. The windpipe splits into two bronchi that enter your lungs. Problems with the trachea include narrowing, inflammation, and some inherited conditions. You may need a procedure called a tracheostomy to help you breathe if you have swallowing problems, or have conditions that affect coughing or block your airways.
A cylindrical tube, called trachea, is the main link between the lungs and the nose and mouth. When we breathe in, air travels through the trachea to our lungs. As the trachea moves down the chest, it splits into two branches called bronchus, one for each lung.
