In the trachea, there rings which are known as tracheal rings. These tracheal rings are made of cartilage and are also called tracheal cartilages. The cartilage is strong but flexible tissue. It prevents the trachea from collapsing when the trachea moves when you breathe.

Dear student

The tracheal cartilages help support the trachea while still allowing it to move and flex during breathing

Hope this helps

Good Luck

The rings of cartilage provide stability and help to prevent the trachea from collapsing and blocking off the airways. The trachea extends from the neck and divides into two main bronchi. Structurally similar to the trachea, the two primary bronchi are located inside the lungs
