Key Concepts

Larynx

The larynx, commonly known as the voice box, is an organ located in the throat responsible for sound production, protecting the airway by closing off during swallowing, and providing the entry point to the lower respiratory tract.

Trachea

The trachea is a vital component of the respiratory system that functions as the main airway, connecting the larynx to the bronchi within the lungs. It is a flexible tube supported by cartilaginous rings, which help maintain an open passage for air to travel efficiently during breathing.

Bronchi

The bronchi are the primary divisions of the airway that branch off from the trachea into each lung, allowing air to be distributed to the lung tissues where gas exchange occurs. They further subdivide into smaller bronchioles to facilitate effective respiration.
