It is about 25 cm long and has muscular walls that help it to push food along. The oesophagus is lined with a layer of cells that produce mucus. This helps to keep the food moving and protects the lining of the food pipe from damage.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_Trachea\"><\/span>What is the Trachea?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi and lungs. It is made up of cartilage and muscle and is lined with mucous membranes. The trachea helps to keep the airway open and allows air to travel to and from the lungs.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_should_you_study_the_difference_between_Trachea_and_Esophagus\"><\/span>Why should you study the difference between Trachea and Esophagus?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The difference between the trachea and the esophagus is important to understand because if something goes wrong with either of them, it can be life-threatening.<\/p>\n<p>The trachea is the airway that goes from the throat to the lungs. It is a tube made of cartilage and muscle that keeps air moving in and out of the lungs. The esophagus is the tube that carries food and drink from the mouth to the stomach. It is made of muscle and is not as strong as the trachea.<\/p>\n<p>If something goes wrong with the trachea, such as a foreign object getting stuck in it, it can cause a person to choke. If something goes wrong with the esophagus, such as a tear in it, it can cause food or drink to go the wrong way and enter the lungs, which can cause pneumonia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oesophagus and Trachea Differences; The oesophagus is a long, thin tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach.
