How many bronchioles are in the lungs?
There are 10 bronchi in each lung.
What does each lung consist?
Bronchi, Bronchioles and Alveoli. Bronchi and Bronchioles - transport systems Alveoli - Respiration occurs
The tubes into which the trachea divide to go into each lung?
The trachea branches off into two tubes going to each lung called the Bronchial Tubes.
What is the answer of the scientific name for the windpipe?
The windpipe is referred to as the trachea, but it eventually splits into two bronchi (one to each lung) then into many bronchioles.
Where does the trachea lead to?
The trachea leads to the two bronchi (one for each lung), then to the smaller bronchioles, and then to the alveoli (air sacs).
What carries air from the the trachea to the lung?
bronchi and bronchioles
The smallest passageways in the lung to have ciliated epithelia are?
respiratory bronchioles
The two main parts of lung?
1) Bronchioles 2) Alveoli
What is the function of terminal bronchioles?
The bronchioles are divided into three types, each becoming progressively smaller. Terminal bronchioles are the second type and the final airways in the conduction zone. All bronchioles control the amount of air distributed through the lung by constricting and dilating.
Respiratory Structure Mainly Affected by Emphysema?
Small airways (bronchioles) and lung sacs (alveoli). Bronchioles collapse, trapping air in alveoli, which then overstretch.
Dilation and relaxation of the bronchioles are possible bcause of the presence of?
Beta 2 adrenergic receptors in lung tissue cause dilation of bronchioles via sympathetic stimulation.
Is the bronchi part of the digestive system?
No, bronchioles are part of the respiratory system. They are small airways found in the lungs.
