What is the windpipe called and what is it connected to?
The windpipe is known as the trachea, and it connects to the two bronchi, which then branch off and eventually reach the alveoli in the lungs.
What tube brings air into and out of the body?
Bronchi---2 tubes that are off shoots of your trachea. Air travels through the nose and mouth to the trachea then to the bronchi. The left bronchi travels to the left lung and the right bronchi to the right lung. Each bronchi branches off into thousands of smaller branches called bronchioles (30,000 in each lung). At the end of each bronchiole is a special area that leads into clumps of teeny tiny air sacs called alveoli. There are about 600 million alveoli in your lungs.
Does epiglottis let food enter the trachea?
No. That is specifically their job. Its purpose is to close off the trachea so that food does not enter the respiratory tract.
How do you sucker tomato plants?
First you have to find all of the little branches that come up in between the big branches of the plant and the stem and pinch them off at the stem. (They will come off easily). But then you have to look for the ground suckers. (branches that grow upward from the roots of the plant.) Tear off the ground suckers at the bottom and that's it! You may have to keep repeating this for awhile until you get your tomatoes to ripen. Suckering tomato plants will increace the size of your tomatos and decrease the amount of small, little tomatoes. Have fun!!

What is the tube that branches off of the esophagus?

In anatomy is laryngopharynx the spot where trachea and esophagus intersect?

What are the three major organs in the Respiratory system?
Lungs - The lungs are the main organs of the respiratory system. In the lungs oxygen is taken into the body and carbon dioxide is breathed out.Trachea -The trachea is sometimes called the windpipe. The trachea filters the air we breathe and branches into the bronchi.Bronchi - The bronchi are two air tubes that branch off of the trachea and carry air directly into the lungs.
