A member asked:
What does the trachea do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: The trachea is the main airway that connects the upper respiratory system to the lungs. It is what allows us to deliver oxygen from our mouth and nose to the lungs and what allows us to deliver carbon dioxide out of our bodies.
