19 Σεπ 2023 · The trachea is a D-shaped fibrocartilaginous respiratory organ. It consists of 16-20 tracheal cartilages anterolaterally and a fibromuscular wall posteriorly. The tracheal cartilages are composed of hyaline cartilage and interconnected by fibroelastic tissue.
The carina of trachea, or carina, is a C-shaped ridge of cartilage on the trachea. Carina in Latin translates to mean ''keel of a boat,'' or the ridge that runs alongside the bottom of a...
The carina is a cartilaginous ridge separating the left and right main bronchi that is formed by the inferior-ward and posterior-ward prolongation of the inferior-most tracheal cartilage. [2] The carina occurs at the lower end of the trachea - usually at the level of the 4th to 5th thoracic vertebra.
Anatomical hierarchy. The carina of trachea is a cartilaginous ridge within the trachea that runs antero-posteriorly between the two primary bronchi at the site of the tracheal bifurcation at the lower end of the trachea (usually at the level of the 5th thoracic vertebra, which is in line with the angle of Louis, but may raise or descend up to ...
The trachea branches into the right and left primary (main) bronchi (singular = bronchus) at the carina. The carina is a raised structure that contains specialized nervous tissue that induces violent coughing if a foreign body, such as food, is present.
Structural anatomy. The trachea serves as a conduit for ventilation and the clearance of tracheal and bronchial secretions. The trachea begins at the lower border of the cricoid cartilage and extends to the level of the carina (Fig. 1).
