The trachea is aligned with which spinal level?

C4-C6
C6-T4
C7-T1
C3-C5

The correct answer is: C6-T4

The trachea is anatomically aligned with the spinal level of C6 to T4. This includes the cervical region starting from C6, which extends into the thoracic region until T4. The trachea is positioned just anterior to the esophagus and begins at the level of the sixth cervical vertebra (C6), where it descends and bifurcates into the right and left bronchi at approximately the level of the fourth thoracic vertebra (T4). This anatomical relationship is essential for understanding respiratory physiology and for various clinical procedures involving the respiratory system and the thoracic cavity.
