The respiratory tract is divided into 3 segments:
- Upper respiratory tract: nose and nasal passages, paranasal sinuses, and throat or pharynx
- Respiratory airways: voice box or larynx, trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles
- Lungs: respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, and alveoli
so the main respiratory tube is Trachea

∙ 13y agoThe main windpipe is called the trachea which leads to the left and right main bronchus, each of which divides into a number of smaller bronchi and then bronchioles, ending in the air sacs called alveoli. Smoking damages the alveoli and breaks down their walls, leading to breathlessness and inflammation.
