What are Small openings on the side of the body through which air enters and leaves tracheal tubes?
Spiracles
What 2 tubes connect to the lungs?
The bronchial tubes connect the trachea and the lungs. Air moves through these tubes into and out of the lungs.
The branching tubes within the lungs end at small?
The branching tubes within the lungs end at small alveoli.
Do bumblebees have lungs?
No, bumblebees [Bombus spp] don't have lungs. Instead, they breathe through a system of air tubes, sacs and holes. The holes are called 'spiracles'. The tubes are called 'trachea'. The air enters the body through the spiracles, is distributed by the trachea and is stored in the sacs.
What small tubes within your lungs?
Fmd
What are the lots of small tubes inside are lungs?
Brachea
What are the tiniest tubes in the lung called?
They are called the bronchiThe smallest [air] tubes in the lungs are the broncioles they terminate the larger bronchi.Inside your lungs the two bronchi tubes divide into small bronchial tubes. The bronchial tubes then divide into bronchioles, which are even smaller air passages. Tiny air sacs, called alveoli, are on the ends of the bronchioles.The small tubes located within the lungs are known as the bronchial tubes. The bronchial tubes function is to purify the air that is going into the lungs, when the bronchial tubes become inflamed and swell, Asthma attacks can occur.
What flows through the large tubes?
Air enters through the mouth or nose and travels through the trachea then it flows through the large tubes called what?
What are the small tubes within the the lungs that transport air to the alveoli?
Bonchioles
How does grass hopper breathes?

How does oxygen get in to there lungs?
Oxygen enters the respiratory system through the mouth and the nose. The oxygen then passes through the larynx (where speech sounds are produced) and the trachea which is a tube that enters the chest cavity. In the chest cavity, the trachea splits into two smaller tubes called the bronchi. Each bronchus then divides again forming the bronchial tubes. The bronchial tubes lead directly into the lungs where they divide into many smaller tubes which connect to tiny sacs called alveoli. The average adult's lungs contain about 600 million of these spongy, air-filled sacs that are surrounded by capillaries. The inhaled oxygen passes into the alveoli and then diffuses through the capillaries into the arterial blood. Meanwhile, the waste-rich blood from the veins releases its carbon dioxide into the alveoli. The carbon dioxide follows the same path out of the lungs when you exhale.
What are the bronchial tubes and what do they do?
The bronchial tubes (or bronchi) are the large tubular structures within the lungs. These carry air into the lungs from the trachea. They branch into smaller tubes called bronchioles, and then to the smallest tubes that contain the alveoli (air sacs) of the lungs.
