There are actually several different kinds of cartilage in the body, but the tracheal rings are the hardest (softer cartilage is found in bendy things like your ears and nose). They're there so your windpipe doesn't collapse in on itself, kind of like a hula hoop keeping a large trash bag open.
The smallest is a segmental bronchus. The trachea is the largest and branches into the main (left and right) bronchi which then branch several times before branching into lobar bronchi and then segmental bronchi. Each lung is made up of lobes (generally the left lung has 2 lobes and the right has 3) and the lobes are comprised of segments.

Nostrils → Nasal Cavity → Pharynx → Larynx → Trachea → Main Bronchus → Lobar Bronchiole → Segmental Bronchus → Bronchiole → Terminal Bronchiole → Respiratory Bronchiole → Alveolar Duct → Atrium → Alveolus
The right bronchus is a passage leading from the trachea/windpipe into the right lung. When objects are aspirated, they are more likely to end up in the right bronchus than the left because its angle at the carina (the point where the trachea divides into a left and right bronchus) is more vertical/leads more straight down
Saturn has three main rings. You need a telescope, but they are visible in a small telescope.
A bronchiole has no cartilage in its wall, a bronchus does.
The right main bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left. The left main bronchus is smaller in caliber,but 5 cm longer than the left bronchus.
voice box is made of nine curved plates of cartilage.the main cartilage plate is the thyroid cartilage
bronchus diverges from the windpipe. bronchus enters lung and provides air passage.
The right and left main bronchus (which supply air to the right and left lung).
The right main bronchus is wider and shorter and runs more vertically than the left main bronchus, therefore objects typically take this path of least resistance.
The right main bronchus, about 2.5 cm in length, is shorter, wider, and more nearly vertical than the left. Because it is in almost a direct line with the trachea--> foreign objects traversing the trachea are more likely to enter the right main bronchus.
Santa clause
A bronchus is a main branch of the airway located below the trachea and above the bronchioles.
The right main bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left main bronchus, and it enters the right lung at roughly the level of the fifth thoracic vertebra.In contrast, the left main bronchus is smaller in size, but longer in length than the right main bronchus. The left main bronchus enters the root of the left lung opposite to the sixth thoracic vertebra, passes underneath the aortic arch.
The right main bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left main bronchus, and it enters the right lung at roughly the level of the fifth thoracic vertebra. The right main bronchus has 3 subdivisions, which become secondary bronchi also known as lobar bronchi, which deliver air to the 3 lobes of the right lung.
The smallest is a segmental bronchus. The trachea is the largest and branches into the main (left and right) bronchi which then branch several times before branching into lobar bronchi and then segmental bronchi. Each lung is made up of lobes (generally the left lung has 2 lobes and the right has 3) and the lobes are comprised of segments.
