What is the name of the tube that is inserted in the throat?

The lungs are actually composed of a series of tubes. The first is the trachea, which brings air from your mouth and nose to inside of your chest (in an area known as the thorax). The trachea splits into two tubes called the bronchi, in which one of each goes to the actual tissue that we call the lungs. From there the bronchi split in a treelike fashion into smaller tubes called bronchioles, which in turn split again and again and get smaller and smaller. The terminal point of each bronchiole is a small sac like structure called an alveolus, which is the primary location of gas exchange within the lungs. Each alveolus is surrounded by a small capillary from the bloodstream which has a thin wall that is only one cell layer thick, allowing for easy exchange of oxygen and carbon monoxide molecules across the membrane.
