What two tubes are divided by the trachea?

After air passes through the larynx, it enters your windpipe, or trachea. The trachea cleans the air again and channels it into the lungs through two large tubes called bronchi. The bronchi divide into smaller tubes and eventually lead to air sacs called alveoli. It is in the alveoli that oxygen moves into your blood and carbon dioxide moves out.


Names of tubes that carry air to lungs?

The main air tube in your throat is called the trachea. You can feel its ridges of cartilage along the front of your neck. The trachea has two branches called bronchi which are also strengthened by cartilage. They lead to the lungs. The next smaller branches are called bronchioles; they are soft without cartilage since they are inside the lungs. The bronchioles lead to the alveoli where the work of the lungs takes place.


What is the name of the tubes that lead into your lungs?

The trachea or windpipe divides into the two primary bronchi which enter each lung. These further divide and subdivide into smaller and smaller bronchi finally forming tiny tubes called bronchioles that end in alveoli (air sacs that facilitate oxygen transfer from the lungs into the pulmonary capillaries).


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 tubes that lead into the lungs?

Bronchial tubes


How do grasshoppers get oxygen?

Small holes on the bottom of the abdomen (spiracles) lead to tracheal tubes inside the insect. These tubes let air in, which has oxygen in it, to travel straight to the grasshoppers cells.

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.


What is the name of the tubes that lead to your lungs?

The trachea, which feeds into the bronchial tubes.
