∙ 8y agoThe trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles, in order of decreasing size, bring air to the alveoli after it enters the body. The bronchi are the first part enclosed in the lungs.

Work of breathing?
Once you breathe in oxygen through your nose, it travels through the trachea, then to the bronchi. The bronchi helps to get oxygen to your lungs. After the air passes through the bronchi, it travels through the bronchioles which are smaller tubes than the bronchi which are bigger tubes than the bronchioles. From the bronchioles air goes to the alveoli. Then it travels back out through the bronchioles, then through the bronchi until the carbon dioxide waste is out of your system. Hope i helped :)
What travels through the bronchial tubes?
Air!!
What travels through bronchial tubes?
Air!!
What happens to the air as it travels in the body?
When we breathe oxygen.The oxygen then goes down the trachea and through the bronchiole tubes and into the lungs, where it meets the alveoli. The Oxygen in the alveoli then diffuses through the alveoli and through the capillaries in the lungs. The capillaries are only one cell thick, thus making it easier for the oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse through. The carbon dioxide diffuses through, in the other direction from, the capillaries to the alveoli, where it can leave the body via the bronchiole tubes, trachea and exiting out the mouth and we end up breathing out oxygen. Also the name for when we breathe oxygen and and breathe out carbon dioxide is "gas exchange"
What are the hollow 'tubes' that blood travels through in mammals?
