Q. Which of the following structures are present in the throat to prevent the air passage from collapsing?
Answer: Rings of cartilage
Notes: Rings of cartilage are present in the throat, specifically in the trachea or windpipe, to ensure that the air passage does not collapse. These semi-circular rings provide the necessary structural support to keep the airway open regardless of pressure changes that occur during breathing. This is very important for maintaining a clear, open path for air to flow into our lungs for respiration.
