Branches of the windpide that lead into the lungs are the?

What is differences between trachea and bronchi?
The trachea, also known as the "windpipe," is the largest tube of the respiratory system. In the adult human it is approximately 5 inches long, and an inch in diameter. It technically begins at the inferior edge of the larynx (aka "voice-box") and continues down toward the lungs. At the inferior end of the trachea it bifurcates, or divides, into two slightly smaller tubes known as bronchi. The primary bronchi each divide into "secondary bronchi." On the right side, the primary bronchus (the term for a single bronchi), divides into a superior and an intermediate bronchus (secondary bronchi) before it enters into the right lung. On the left side, the primary bronchus enters the left lung, then divides into a superior and and inferior bronchus (secondary bronchi.)
What are the large diameter airways called?
The largest diameter airways are the mainstem bronchi. Smaller-diameter airways are the bronchioles.
What are tubes that bifurcate from the windpipe?
Bronchi (primary)
Is the Bronchi part of lungs?
Yes. You have primary, secondary, tertiary and about seventeen such generations of bronchi. They are part of the lungs.
Where does the secondary bronchi supply air to?
there are two primary bronchi which branch off into secondary bronchi which supply air to the lobes of the lungs
