What is the diffirence of bronchi and bronchioles?
Very small bronchi are called as bronchioles. You have cartilage rings in case of the bronchi. Such rings are absent in case of the bronchiloles. You need such C shaped cartilage rings in case of bronchi, so that they should not get collapsed. The bronchioles are in periphery and they can not collapse because they are very small muscular tubes. C shaped cartilage saves lot of muscle mass of the bronchi to prevent them from collapsing.
