1) 2. TRACHEA The trachea extends from the inferior margin of the cricoid cartilage to the carina, a keel-like ridge that marks the origin of the main bronchi (Fig. 3) (2). The trachea is comprised of 16–22 C-shaped cartilages, which are linked longitudinally by annular ligaments of fibrous and connective tissue (2). The cartilages are connected posteriorly by the membranous wall of the trachea, which lacks cartilage and is supported by the trachealis muscle, comprised of transverse smooth muscle fibers that narrow the tracheal lumen upon contraction (2).
Thus, because of the angled course of the trachea, axial CT images do not provide a true perpendicular cross section of the tracheal lumen. Radiologic Anatomy of the Airways 29 A) B) Fig. 2.
