| trachea |
The tube-like structure that allows inhaled air to reach the lungs. The trachea, in non-medical terms, is often referred to as the "wind pipe". The trachea begins immediately below the larynx in the neck and travels into the chest where it divides into two main tubes, known as bronchi. The bronchi are known as the right mainstem bronchus and the left mainstem bronchus.

| tracheae |
Internal tubes through which air is taken for respiration. Vertebrates with lungs have a single trachea carrying air to the lungs, while insects and some other land-living arthropods have a complex network of tracheae carrying air from the spiracles to all parts of the body.
