  4. Trachea

  5. Trachea.

  6. The proper name for the windpipe is the trachea. Air is transported through the trachea. The cells that line the trachea have minuscule hair-like cilia, which collects any dust that is inhaled, and prevents it from entering your lungs. It is then removed by coughing. To prevent food from entering the windpipe, the trachea has a small flap of skin at the entrance called the epiglottis. During deglutition, this flap closes over the trachea to prevent food from entering.
