What keeps your trachea open while you breathe?

In this cinematic 3D medical animation, explore the trachea from the larynx down to the carina, where it divides into the right and left main bronchi.

Discover how its C-shaped cartilage rings provide structural support, while mucus and microscopic cilia help trap and move unwanted particles away from the lungs.

Follow the airflow through this remarkable airway and watch the trachea split into the bronchial tree.

Body Spectra brings human anatomy to life through cinematic 3D medical visualization.
