The trachea branches into the left and right airways at the carina. These branched airways are called the bronchi.
bronchi whch divide into many branches called bronchioles
left and right primary/ main bronchi
yes whic are called braonchi
Bronchi
The 'Carina'.
The trachea divides into the right and left bronchi at the carina.
The trachea, also known as the "windpipe," is the largest tube of the respiratory system. In the adult human it is approximately 5 inches long, and an inch in diameter. It technically begins at the inferior edge of the larynx (aka "voice-box") and continues down toward the lungs. At the inferior end of the trachea it bifurcates, or divides, into two slightly smaller tubes known as bronchi. The primary bronchi each divide into "secondary bronchi." On the right side, the primary bronchus (the term for a single bronchi), divides into a superior and an intermediate bronchus (secondary bronchi) before it enters into the right lung. On the left side, the primary bronchus enters the left lung, then divides into a superior and and inferior bronchus (secondary bronchi.)
the space where the trachea divides is called the "tracheal bifurcation". This is the place in the treacha where it divides into the 2 broncholes that go into the right and left lung. They further divide in to the broncholies and then into aveolary ducts and finally into the arveoli sacs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs.
The atrial septum divides the left and right atria of the heart. The intraventricular septum divides the left and right ventricles of the heart.
The sagittal plane divides the body into right and left halves.
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.
No, the trachea and the spinal cord run parallel from about the base of the skull to the lungs. The spinal cord is superior to (above) the trachea, that means the spinal cord lies dorsally to the trachea. You could also say that the trachea is inferior to the spinal cord.When you are doing body directions on a human, you have to lay the human on his belly. Anterior is towards the head; Posterior, towards the tail end. If you are a surgeon, then left and right are your left and right while facing the patient.
The wind pipe is called a trachea. It brings air from your mouth down into your lungs. It is a straight tube at the top that separates into two branches, one going into each lung. These are the left bronchus and right bronchus.
From a vertical point of view, the plane that divides the body into left and right portions is the lateral plane or sagittal plane. Dividing the body into planes makes studying anatomy less confusing as body parts can be more easily identified.
