Describe the structure of the trachea and its function in the mammalian gaseous exchange system.

• Wide tube supported by C-shaped cartilage to keep the air passage open during pressure changes.

• Do not need to be kept open by cartilage, therefore mostly have only muscle and elastic fibres so that they can contract and relax easily during ventilation.

• Mini air sacs, lined with epithelium cells, site of gas exchange.

• External intercostal muscles relax (while internal contract), bringing the ribs down and in.
