Is the trachea anterior to spinal cord?

No, the trachea is not anterior to the spinal cord. The trachea is an airway that runs from the larynx (voice box) to the lungs. It is located in the front of the neck, just below the Adam's apple. The spinal cord is a bundle of nerves that runs from the brain down the back. It is located inside the spinal column, which is a series of bones that protect the spinal cord. The trachea is therefore anterior to the esophagus, but not to the spinal cord.
