Explanation

The tracheal wall is the outer part of the windpipe, which is the tube that carries air from your mouth and nose to your lungs when you breathe. It's made up of several layers, including a layer of muscle and a layer of soft, flexible tissue. This wall helps keep the windpipe open so air can flow freely, and it also protects the windpipe from damage.
