The trachea is lined by cartilage and divided into two branches. These two branches are called the bronchi. The left bronchus enters the left lung and the right bronchus enters the right lung. Each bronchus is further divided into around 25 smaller branches. These smaller divisions of bronchi are known as the bronchioles. The bronchioles carry air into thealveoli.

The bronchi are two tubes that radiate from the trachea or windpipe. The bronchi look like the branches of a tree.

The trachea is another name for a person's windpipe and it looks like a long pipe with creases on it. This is what is connected to the lungs so that a person can breathe.
