This is a section of the wall of the trachea showing the ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelial lining, the fibrous lamina propria, and a small segment of hyaline cartilage with its perichondrium. The cartilage forms an irregular C- or Y-shaped ring around the trachea. The free ends are joined by a band of smooth muscle and face dorsally adjacent to the esophagus.
