Friendly

The Vietnamese word "khí quản" refers to the windpipe or trachea in English. It is a noun that describes a vital part of the respiratory system in humans and many animals.

Explanation:

The khí quản is a tube that connects the throat (or pharynx) to the lungs. Its primary function is to allow air to pass in and out of the lungs, playing a crucial role in breathing. When you inhale, air travels through the khí quản to reach the lungs, and when you exhale, air moves back out through the khí quản.

Usage Instructions:

• Use "khí quản" when discussing topics related to anatomy, biology, or health, especially in the context of the respiratory system.
• It is often used in medical discussions, education about human anatomy, or when talking about respiratory issues.

Example:

• "Khi bạn bị cảm lạnh, khí quản của bạn có thể bị viêm và gây khó khăn cho việc thở." (When you have a cold, your windpipe may become inflamed and make it difficult to breathe.)

Advanced Usage:

In more advanced contexts, "khí quản" can be used in discussions about medical conditions, such as tracheitis (inflammation of the windpipe) or tracheostomy (a surgical procedure to create an opening in the trachea).

Word Variants:

• There are no direct variants of "khí quản," but related terms include:
  • "phế quản" (bronchus): This refers to the larger passageways that branch off from the trachea into the lungs.

Different Meanings:

In general, "khí quản" specifically refers to the windpipe or trachea, and it does not have different meanings outside this context.

Synonyms:

• In Vietnamese, a synonym for "khí quản" is "ống khí", which also refers to the windpipe, but "khí quản" is the more commonly used term in medical and anatomical contexts.
