词汇 trachea
释义

Definition of trachea in English:

trachea

nounPlural tracheae, Plural tracheas ˈtreɪkɪətrəˈkiːəˈtreɪkiə
Anatomy
  • 1A large membranous tube reinforced by rings of cartilage, extending from the larynx to the bronchial tubes and conveying air to and from the lungs; the windpipe.

    〔剖〕气管

    Example sentencesExamples
    • The conducting portion of the respiratory system includes the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi.
    • If symptoms aren't improving in that time, see your doctor to make sure you don't have a bacterial infection in your lungs, larynx, trachea, sinuses or ears.
    • Additionally, the bronchi, trachea, and larynx demonstrated generalized erythema of the mucosa with overlying thin yellow mucus.
    • The larynx, trachea, and bronchi exhibited extensive squamous metaplasia of the mucosa with reactive atypia.
    • Minor salivary glands of mucinous type are also located in the nose, paranasal sinuses, the larynx, trachea and bronchi.
    1. 1.1Entomology Each of a number of fine chitinous tubes in the body of an insect, conveying air direct to the tissues.
      〔昆〕气管
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Although tracheae appear to be compressed synchronously, the shape and direction of compression varies within local tracheal segments, and to a lesser extent, between beetles.
      • This was a pretty far out idea, since blood-based gas exchange is what other arthropods use (including aquatic ones) but was previously thought to be completely absent in insects, which deliver air directly to their tissues via tracheae.
      • The lethal phase of Tpl aneuploids is late embryonic or early larval, with the tracheae and the gut the first tissues to be affected.
      • Breathing is by special gas exchange organs along the side of the body called tracheae and malpighian tubules.
      • Nor would they be able to gasp enough oxygen through their tracheae, the breathing system that limits most insects to the half-inch scale.
    2. 1.2Botany A duct or vessel in a plant.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • The formation of nodules of vascular tissue has been described as consisting of tracheas and islands of sieve elements in callus tissue grown in vitro.
      Synonyms
      duct, tube, channel, passage, pipe

Derivatives

  • tracheal

  • adjective ˈtreɪkɪəltrəˈkiəl
    • This finding illustrates how morphological changes during development can improve tracheal conductance.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • The air sacs leading into and out of the lungs hold a large volume of fresh air, so in general, the respiratory costs of tracheal elongation are probably not high.
      • The receptors have long fused rhabdoms and are surrounded by a tracheal tapetum.
      • The aquatic larvae or nymphs possess respiratory abdominal tracheal gills.
      • The lantern tracheal system is also highly specialized.
  • tracheate

  • adjective ˈtreɪkɪeɪt
    • Insects are tracheate arthropods and employ direct transfer of respiratory gases to and from their sites of use and generation via the tracheal system.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • In this theory, the forerunners of wings were thoracic, highly tracheate gills that functioned as stabilizers during swimming.
      • The insects are tracheate.
      • The fact that insects, chilopods and progoneates (many proponents of the insect-crustacean relationship simply neglect the fact that there are two more tracheate taxa, the symphyles and the pauropods!) all have no visible post-antennular appendage does not make it an A2 that was lost.
      • Myriapods have been traditionally considered the closest relatives of hexapods, thus implying only one origin of terrestriality for the tracheate lineage, but this view is now challenged by molecular evidence.

Origin

Late Middle English: from medieval Latin, from late Latin trachia, from Greek trakheia (artēria) 'rough (artery)', from trakhus 'rough'.
