The bronchi are the tubes which carry air from the trachea to the inner recces of thelungs, where it can transfer oxygen to the blood in the alveoli. Two main bronchi, the right and left bronchus, branch off of the low end of the trachea in what is called the tracheal bifurcation. One bronchus extends into each of the right and left lung. The bronchi continue to divide into smaller passageways, called bronchioles, forming a tree- like network of branches which extends throughout the spongy

∙ 9y agoCarrying air from the trachea to the lungs is what the bronchioles do. Once the air gets to the lungs it transfers oxygen into the blood.

What is the many little branches of the respiratory system?
it is bronchioles
How would you justify the statement The bronchioles are to the respiratory system what the arterioles are to the cardiovascular system?
Bronchioles means little bronchi and arterioles means, literally, little arteries. Since the bronchioles are in the respiratory system and the arterioles are in the cardiovascular system, this would be a fair comparison.
What lacks the support of cartilage in the respiratory system?
THE BRONCHIOLES
Which organ of respiratory system do not contain cartilage?
the bronchioles
What effects does the Sympathetic Nervous System have on the respiratory system?
It dilates the bronchioles.
What vessels in the respiratory system are called the resistance vessels?
Bronchioles
Where are the cilia in the respiratory system located?
In the lining of the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles.
How are alveoli and bronchi related?
Bronchioles are part of the respiratory system and branch from the bronchus. Air from the bronchus enters the terminal bronchioles that terminate in air sacs known as alveoli.
Alveolar ducts alveolar sacs terminal bronchioles respiratory bronchioles bronchi bronchioles What is the order from largest to smallest?
The respiratory looks like an upside down tree, from the trunk to the branches and to fruit (such as an apple). From largest to smallest, the respiratory system consists of the throat to main bronchi, to bronchioles, to terminal bronchioles, to alveolar ducts, to alveolar sacs (aveoli look like tiny grapes).
What is Main branch of the respiratory system that enters each of the lungs?
it is bronchioles
Which parts of your respiratory system are inside the lungs?
the Bronchioles, Air sacs and the Diaphragm
What comes first in the respiratory tree the respiratory bronchioles or the terminal bronchioles?
the terminal first
