(anatomy) the hollow organ in the throat that contains the vocal cords and provides an air passage to the lungs
喉头
(anatomy) the membranous tube in the body that carries air from the throat to the bronchi
气管
the passage with ringed cartilages in the respiratory system that carries air from the throat to the lungs
气管
a flap-like structure that prevents food and liquids from entering the windpipe during swallowing
会厌
a small airway in the respiratory system that leads from the bronchi to the alveoli in the lungs
细支气管
a major airway in the respiratory system that branches off from the trachea and leads to the lungsea
支气管
a thin membrane that lines the lungs and the inner surface of the chest cavity, providing a protective covering
胸膜
the fluid-filled region between the visceral and parietal layers of the pleura that facilitates lung movement
胸膜腔
a prominent, shield-shaped structure in the neck that protects the larynx and aids in sound production
甲状软骨
a ring-shaped structure in the neck that supports the trachea and aids in the regulation of airflow during breathing
环状软骨
thin muscular bands in the larynx that vibrate to produce sound during speech and singing
声带
elastic bands of tissue located within the larynx that vibrate to produce sound during speech and singing
声带
the point in the trachea, or windpipe, where it divides into two smaller branches called the left and right main bronchi, which then lead to the respective lungs, facilitating the flow of air during breathing
气管分叉
small, air-filled sacs in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the air and bloodstream during respiration
肺泡
a pair of mucous membrane folds in the larynx that help protect the airway and assist in sound modulation
前庭褶
