two like structures that lead to the lungs and branch off into the broncoe. (trachea)
The two main bronchi are formed when the trachea (or windpipe) divides.
The right bronchus is more vertical than the left. It is also wider and shorter. It is approximately 2.5cm in length and after entering the right lung it divides into three branches (one going to each of the three lobes of the right lung). Each branch then divides into many smaller branches. As the bronchi get smaller, they are called bronchioles. Bronchioles become terminal bronchioles, then respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts.. and finally alveoli.
The left bronchus is about 5cm in length and is narrower than the right. After entering the left lung, it divides into two branches (one for each of the two lobes of the left lung). Each branch then divides into smaller bronchi in the same way as the bronchi in the right lung, ending in the alveoli.
The bronchi are lined with ciliated columnar epithelium. This contains cilia which are hair like extensions that propel materials along the airways. This helps to keep the airways clear.

∙ 14y agoyour trachea is your wind pipe and it splits in two to go to each lung. the two pipes are the bronchi

∙ 13y agoThe trachea (windpipe) divides into two main bronchi - the left and the right (singular = bronchus). They are passages for inhaled and exhaled air to travel through.

What is the description of bronchi?
the bronchi is conected to your lungs.
Are bronchi an organ?
The Bronchi is not an Organ. An Organ is tissues that carry out a human process, Bronchi is in the Lungs, so the Bronchi helps the lung carry out respiration.
Is the bronchi in the respiratory system?
Yes.The bronchi are the openings to the lungs
Is the Bronchi part of lungs?
Yes. You have primary, secondary, tertiary and about seventeen such generations of bronchi. They are part of the lungs.
Where does the secondary bronchi supply air to?
there are two primary bronchi which branch off into secondary bronchi which supply air to the lobes of the lungs
What are the lining of the lungs?
Bronchi
Where you find bronchi?
The Lungs.
What is the human bronchi?
bronchi is plural of bronchus. It carries air to lungs.
What are the bronchi and what do they do?
bronchi is a tube like structure. It carries air to lungs.
What are your bronchi?
your bronchi are the small air sacks that branch off from the lungs
Which structures bring oxygen from the trachea to the lungs?
Trachea divides in 2 bronchi which conducte air into the lungs (inside the lungs each bronchi divides in many smaller branchs only studied in college)
Why are there two bronchi in lungs?
Who can't answer this? Of course for there are two lungs
