Yes a primary bronchus carries air toward each lung. After reaching the lungs, the primary bronchi branch off into secondary bronchi which carry the air to the lobes of the lungs, three on the right and two on the left.

What portion of the bronchial tree supplies each lobe of the lungs?
primary bronchi
What passes air into the bronchi?
The path of air from the environment to the bronchi is as follows: environment, nasal passages or mouth, nasopharynx or oropharynx, pharynx, glottic opening, larynx, trachea, mainstem bronchi, bronchi.
What is differences between trachea and bronchi?
The trachea, also known as the "windpipe," is the largest tube of the respiratory system. In the adult human it is approximately 5 inches long, and an inch in diameter. It technically begins at the inferior edge of the larynx (aka "voice-box") and continues down toward the lungs. At the inferior end of the trachea it bifurcates, or divides, into two slightly smaller tubes known as bronchi. The primary bronchi each divide into "secondary bronchi." On the right side, the primary bronchus (the term for a single bronchi), divides into a superior and an intermediate bronchus (secondary bronchi) before it enters into the right lung. On the left side, the primary bronchus enters the left lung, then divides into a superior and and inferior bronchus (secondary bronchi.)
Does the trachea divide into right and left primary bronchi?
yes, there are two primary bronchi. Each One enters each lungs.
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.
What are bronchi sibdivided into?
bronchi divides in primary bronchi . Which divides in secondary and tertiary.
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.
What is the difference between trachea and bronchi?
Bronchi (plural of bronchus) are tubes that branch off from the trachea into each lung. Bronchioles are smaller tubes that branch off from each bronchus. Also there are only two bronchi compared with the hundreds of bronchioles
What are the two branches of the trachea?
The wind pipe is called a trachea. It brings air from your mouth down into your lungs. It is a straight tube at the top that separates into two branches, one going into each lung. These are the left bronchus and right bronchus.
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.
What are two medical term meaning Bronchi?
Bronchus (Greek for "windpipe") is singular. Bronchi is plural. The primary right and left bronchi direct the air into the right and left lungs. It then splits to go to each lobe of the lung. These tubes are secondary or lobar bronchi. The next division is the bronchiole tree, the alveolar duct and the alveolar sacs or clusters. Another less common name for the bronchi is "Respiratory Ducts".
What is at the tip of each bronchi-ole?
Alveoli.
