What is the function of bronchies?
The bronchi are a complex system of airway tubes that carry air into and out of the lungs. The bronchi do not absorb oxygen or exchange it for carbon dioxide; gas exchange only occurs in the alveolar sacs at the very ends of the bronchial network. The trachea (windpipe) divides into two mainstem bronchi, each of which divides into 2 or 3 lobar bronchi. Each lobar bronchus divides into 8 to 10 segmental (or tertiary) bronchi, and each segmental bronchus divides into many primary bronchioles, each of which divides into terminal bronchioles which divide into respiratory bronchioleswhich divide into alveolar ducts. Each of the hundreds of alveolar ducts supplies air to several pulmonary alveolar sacs where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide.The primary bronchi are the two air tubes that branch off of the Trachea, primary bronchi divide to form secondary bronchi which in turn form tertiary bronchi .and finally bronchioles All bronchi & bronchiolescarry air ultimately to alveoli .It is a tube that branches off your trachea and take air to your lungsthe bronchi allows air to travel from the lungs through two pipes of the tracheathe large air tubes leading from the trachea to the lungs;]The bronchi (BRAHN-ky) are two air tubes that branch off of the trachea and carry air directly into the lungs.
Where does exchange of oxygen take place?
The exchange of oxygen takes place in the alveoli. It is found in our lungs
Where does respiration actually take place?
Respiration takes place everywhere in the body. It takes place in the lungs the bronchi, the esophagus, the trachea, blood vessels, in capillaries, in the brain, cells even breath. If you are referring to the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, It actually occurs in the blood stream.
The path that air takes when you take in a breath?
nostril->nasopharynx-> oropharynx->glottis-> trachea-> left and right bronchi-> bronchioles->alveoli (where gas exchange occurs)
Does respiratory exchange take place in fetus?
no
What are the functions of the bronchi?
Air travels to and from the lungs though two branches of the trachea called bronchi (one branch equals bronchus; 2 is bronchi). The bronchi subdivide within the lobes of the lungs into smaller and smaller air vessels called bronchioles or bronchioli (singular), that terminate in alveoli. When the alveoli inflate with inhaled air brought in through the bronchi, oxygen enters into the blood. When air is exhaled through the bronchi, the alveoli deflate to expel carbon dioxide and other waste gases from the blood.
Where does gaseous exchange take place in a leaf'?
stomata
Where does the trading of securities take place?
stock exchange
What does blood carry - and where does the exchange of substances take place?
blood carry gases like o2,co2...nd the exchange of substances take place in small intestine
What is the main function of the bronchioles?
There are two primary bronchi which are the first divisions branching off from the trachea to take air into the lungs. The primary bronchi then subdivide into lobar bronchi and then again into tertiary bronchi which continue to divide until they are tiny bronchioles which supply each of the alveoli in the lungs. The left primary bronchus leads to the left lung and the right primary bronchus leads into the right lung. The bronchi contain rings of hyaline cartilage which help to provide flexible support to the airways.
Where does breathing take place?
From my physiology class...if you mean the gas exchange (CO2-O2), it occurs at the alveoli level. These are part of the bronchioles which are branches of the bronchi which are branches of the trachea. Alveolis are located within the lungs. Breathing takes place in many areas. All of the areas of entry where oxygen enters the body is involved such as the mouth and nasal passages, the trachea, the bronchi, the lungs, even the blood stream because that is where the actual exchange of these gases occur.
How does exchange of gases take place between the walls of the alveoli and the capillaries?
oxygen and carbon dioxide take place
