The trachea divides into a right and left main bronchus. Each major bronchus then subdivides into smaller airway passages referred to as bronchi. As the airway passages make their way out to the lung tissue, the passages become smaller and are referred to as bronchioles. Eventually the bronchioles terminate into small collections of air sacs known as alveoli, which is where the actual exchange of CO2 and Oxygen occur.
The above answer is partly correct, The bronchus and bronchi and the same, bronchus is singular and bronchi is plural. The primary (main) bronchi have a left bronchus and right bronchus, they later eventually branch into the bronchiole(s).
No, bronchial spasms are often caused by bronchitis. But, they are NOT the same thing. if you have bronchial spasms you won't be able to breath in deep (you can still breath normal just fine though) without getting into coughing fits.
No. Bronchioles are the tiny branches of the "bronchial tree". There are 2 primary bronchi that branch off and become smaller and smaller (brochioles) and eventually end in the alveoli, the tiny sacs where O2 saturation takes place :)
No. The symptoms of both are the same, but Chronic Bronchitis doesn't go away. C Bronchitis is usually caused by smoking, but not always.
No. Bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchis, the larger tubing... bronchiolitis is inflammation of the bronchioles... the smaller tubing.
No. The bronchi are large tubes that lead into the lungs. The lungs are filled with very tiny air sacs called aveoli.
Yes the right bronchus leads to the lungs.
The trachea branches off into the primary bronchus , secondary bronchus etc all the way to the alveoli.The primary bronchus is the first extension of the trachea to enter the lungs.
Your bronchus are on your lungsThe Bronchuses are located both sides of the heart. They are called the lungs.
Bronchus refers to one of the branches (air passages) of trachea that go into the lungs.
The trachea connects to the bronchi to connect to the lungs.
The Bronchus is the part of the airway that puts air into the lungs. There are two of them and they divide into many bronchioles which are then further subdivided into alveolar ducts to take the air into the lungs themselves.
The 'Bronchus' or 'Bronchial Tube'.
bronchi (singular bronchus) --Allison
According to a figure in my human biology book if the trachea and the Bronchus is made out of the same matter then the Trachea does enter the lung. Unless the bronchus is made out of unique tissue muscle etc.
It sends oxygen to individual alveoli in your lungs, which sends oxygen to your body's cells.
bronchi is plural of bronchus. It carries air to lungs.
Allow air to pass from trachea to lungs
