Part of the body hurt when trapped in overturned craft (7)

I believe the answer is:

trachea

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'part of the body' is the definition.
('trachea' is part of 'body')

'hurt when trapped in overturned craft' is the wordplay.
'hurt when' becomes 'ache' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'when' bit.).
'trapped in' indicates putting letters inside.
'overturned' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'craft' becomes 'art' (both can mean cunning or trickery).
'art' in reverse letter order is 'tra'.
'ache' going inside 'tra' is 'TRACHEA'.
