The bronchi go directly into the alveoli.?

The passage way is Bronchi to Bronchioles then alveoli to alveolar ducts and exchange of gasses occurs in alveoli. So Answer is No..bronchi not goes directly to alveoli.


What is the path during respiration?

I am not sure what you are asking... However, the air that you breathe in through your mouth and nose go into your throat or pharynx and then past your epiglottis which is a "lid" over your voice box or larynx. Then it passes down the trachea to the bronchi and eventually goes into numerous smaller tubes called bronchioles into the final air sacks called alveoli. These air sacks are where the transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide thates place in the blood stream.


What order does air go through the respiratory system?

Trachea -> Avleoli -> Brochus -> Bronchioles


Where does oxygen go after its in your mouth?

After the mouth (or nose), oxygen (as part of the air) goes down your trachea, into the bronchi, and through the bronchioli, into the alveoli, where it enters the blood and gets taken via the blood to the various parts of your body.


The respiratory system consists of pharynx and what else?

it consists of the pharynx, the epiglottis, the trachea, the bronchi, the alveoli, and the lungs themselves.


What order does alveoli lung trachea nose and bronchi go in to reach the blood?

The correct order is:nosetracheamain bronchusbronchi (two) which is part of the lungsbronchioles - tinier than the bronchialveolismall capillaries surround each alveoli and cover each alveoli's surface-- CO2 passes from the alveoli to the venous blood supply; the blood passes O2 to alveoli and into the arterial blood supply


What is the path that air takes when humans take a breathe?

In through the Nostrils into the the nasal cavity where it is heated, humidified and gains turbulance thanks to the concha. The air then moves down through nasopharynx then the laryngeopharynx, through the larynx ant into the Trachea. The trachea runs down the middle of the thorax intill it Bifrucates (splits into two) at the level of T4 to form the two Bronchi. The bronchi go left and right (one into each lung) where the too separate to borm bronioles, which keep branching out until they reach the alveoli. The alveoli are structures that look like bunches of grapes, each grape is called an air sac. As the air leaves it takes the same route in reverse. Simplified Answer: Air rich in oxygen enters the nostrils or the mouth. It then passes through the pharynx and then the larynx. Then air goes through the trachea. from there it goes to each bronchi and which branches into bronchiole. From there, it goes the air sacs or alveoli of the lungs. Notes: Mucus in the nostrils warms, moistens and cleans air so it is better to breathe through your nose!


When carbon dioxide leaves the body and enters the alveoli.The air flows back out through the what?

From nose you have air entering to pharynx. Then larynx. Then trachea. Trachea divides into two parts. These two primary bronchi divides into 10 each secondary bronchi. Then each go on dividing into two branches, at right angle to each other. This happens 17 times. Then alveoli starts and they divide 6 times. When air exits, it goes in 'reverse' direction.


Where does air go after entering the bronchi?

Air moves from the larynx into the bronchial tubes then enters the lungs and is filtered into oxygen and other components by the avioli. The oxygen goes to the blood, and the other molecules (nitrogen, argon,helium,hydrogen etc.) are breathed out.


How air enter your body?

it goes to ur nasal cavity then go to your larnx to the trachea to the bronchi and air sacs to the lungs :)


Where does incoming air flow after it passes through the laryngopharynx?

It travels down the trachea and into your bronchi that lead into your lungs. From there they enter smaller branches called bronchioles. Then the single units called alveoli put oxygen into the blood.


What structure passes air to the lungs?

Air passes through: 1. Nose or Mouth 2. Nasal cavity 3. Pharynx 4. Larynx 5. Trachea (in throat) 6. Bronchus (in chest) 7. Bronchioles (finer tubes inside lungs) into the alveoli (tiny pockets inside lungs). The o2/co2 exchange occurs in the alveoli where they interface with capillaries. Hope this helps.
