The respiratory looks like an upside down tree, from the trunk to the branches and to fruit (such as an apple).
From largest to smallest, the respiratory system consists of the throat to main bronchi, to bronchioles, to terminal bronchioles, to alveolar ducts, to alveolar sacs (aveoli look like tiny grapes).

The smallest of the air distribution tubes in the respiratory tract are the?
—Bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli - looks like an upside down tree.◦Trachea is the main trunk that divides into◦Right bronchus and left bronchus. As the bronchi enter the lungs they divide into smaller and smaller branches.◦The smallest tubes whose walls are made only of smooth muscle are called bronchioles.◦Bronchioles further divide into microscopic tubes called alveolar ducts which resemble the main stem of a bunch of grapes.◦Alveolar ducts end in several alveolar sacs arranged like a clusters of grapes.◦The walls of the alveolar sacs are made up of numerous alveoli each of which resembles a single grape.
What are the smallest divisions of the bronchial trees?
bronchiolesBronchiolesThese are called bronchioles.bronchiolesbronchiolesthis is the wrong answer, The bronchioles divide into smaller and smaller tubes, ending in microscopic branches that divide into Alveolar ducts, which end in several alveolar sacs.Think of it like a bunch of grapes, the aveolar ducts are the stem, the grape clusters represent an alveolar sac, and each grape represent an alveolus.Alveoli is where the oxygen has to reach to begin gas exchanges between air and blood.Bronchioles

Smallest conducting respiratory passageways?
bronchioles
The smallest passageways in the lung to have ciliated epithelia are?
respiratory bronchioles
The area of the respiratory passageways that extends from the opening of the nasal cavity to the smallest bronchioles is the?
Respiratory Portion.
What are the smallest and most distal structures that remain a component of the conducting zone in the respiratory tract?
terminal bronchioles!
Hat is the smallest branches of the bronchial tree in a cat?
The smallest branches of the bronchial tree in a cat are bronchioles. These bronchioles are responsible for conducting air to and from the alveoli, where gas exchange occurs.
What are the tiny air sacs at the end of the smallest tubes in the lungs?
The smallest tube in the lungs is the Bronchus
What is the smallest group of passages in the lungs?
Bronchioles..
What structure is at the end of the smallest tubes in lungs?
alveoli
