It isnt. There is no gas exchange in the trachea this takes place at the alveoli.
It's Bronchi- Gradpoint sucks!bronchi, novanet
The spongy organ in the respiratory system that takes in air through the trachea is the lungs. The trachea branches into smaller tubes called bronchi, which further divide into bronchioles that lead to air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs.
The bronchoile branch from the trachea and they are the way by which air flowing through the trachea enters the lungs. The bronchoile split into smaller branches in the lungs and contain small sacs with attached capalliaries at the end called alveoli, where gas exchange occurs.
The major parts of the respiratory system include the lungs, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. The lungs are the primary organ where gas exchange occurs, the trachea and bronchi function to transport air to and from the lungs, and the bronchioles help regulate airflow. The alveoli are responsible for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in the bloodstream.
The air travels from the nose and mouth through the trachea, which is also known as the windpipe, to reach the lungs. The trachea branches into smaller tubes called bronchi, which further divide into bronchioles and ultimately lead to the air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs.
The organs involved in all forms of respiration include the lungs, where gas exchange occurs; the diaphragm, which helps with breathing by expanding and contracting the lungs; and the trachea, which carries air to and from the lungs.
The tubes that air travels through to the lungs are the trachea, which leads to the bronchi (singular: bronchus), then to smaller bronchioles, and finally to the alveoli where gas exchange occurs in the lungs.
The key parts of the breathing system are the lungs, trachea, bronchi, diaphragm, and alveoli. The trachea and bronchi are airways that carry oxygen to the lungs, where gas exchange occurs in the alveoli. The diaphragm is the muscle responsible for the process of inhalation and exhalation.
The alveoli are the structures in the respiratory system that are involved in the gas exchange function. They are tiny air sacs located at the end of the bronchioles in the lungs where oxygen from the air is taken up by the blood and carbon dioxide is released from the blood into the lungs to be exhaled.
The actual sites of gas exchange within the lungs are the alvioli.
?
The gas exchange that takes place in the lungs are carbon dioxide and oxygen.
