What is "tracheal bifurcation"?
The tracheal bifurcation, also known as the carina, is the point where the trachea splits into two bronchi, one leading to each lung. It serves as a critical anatomical landmark for directing airflow and ensuring oxygen reaches both lungs. The tracheal bifurcation plays a vital role in respiratory function and facilitates the distribution of air for gas exchange in the lungs.
