The trachea (TRAY-kee-uh) is sometimes called the windpipe. The trachea filters the air we breathe and branches into the bronchi. When a person breathes, air comes in through the nose or mouth and then goes into the trachea (windpipe). From there, it passes through the bronchial tubes, which are in the lungs.

Many useful?
