No, the trachea is not located in front of the heart and behind the lungs. Instead, the trachea is situated in front of the esophagus and it runs down the neck and into the thoracic cavity, where it divides into the left and right main bronchi that lead into the lungs. The heart is located slightly to the left and behind the trachea, and the lungs are situated laterally on either side of the trachea. So, while the trachea is centrally located in the chest, it is not directly in front of the heart or behind the lungs.
