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 else can I help you with?
Air passageway between trachea and lungs?
The subdivisions of the respiratory tree are, from trachea to lungs, are trachea, mainstem bronchi, segmental bronchi, subsegmental bronchi, terminal bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles and alveoli.There are about 20 subdivisions of bronchi and bronchioles, they are not named individually.== ==
Which structure is located between the trachea and a bronchiole?
The larynx is the structure that is located between the trachea and the bronchial. The trachea is the tube that runs from the larynx to the bronchi.
What is the passage way between the trachea and the lungs?
The passage between the nose that i fink u r looking the answer is the trachea which leads the air to the lungs
Why is Trachea important?
It provides a passageway for air between your larynx and primary bronchi.
What is the passageway for air from the pharynx to the bronchi is the?
Trachea
Describe and locate the trachea and bronchi?
the trachea is anterior in your neck or the stiff part of your throat. the bronchi are connected to the trachea and its the part that splits into the lungs
Where does the bronchi start in the body and trachea end?
The Bronchi starts just after the trachea turns left ore right
What does air pass through after the trachea?
After the trachea, air goes into the primary bronchi, then interpulmonary bronchi, then bronchioles, then terminal bronchioles, then into the alveoli.
The trachea divides into these right and left branches?
The 'Carina'.
What structure allows air to pass between the larynx and bronchi?
The structure that allows air to pass between the larynx and bronchi is the trachea. The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is a tubular structure made of cartilage and smooth muscle that extends from the larynx down to the bronchi, facilitating the flow of air to and from the lungs. It branches into the right and left bronchi, which lead to the respective lungs.
What are trachea and bronchi?
the trachea is air passage tube that allows air to enter your lungs. the bronchi are two little tubes that are connected to the end of your trachea and lead to the lungs.
What connects the trachea to your bronchioles?
The trachea connects the larynx to the primary bronchi.tracheaThe Tracheathe trachea. it is a distal continuation of the larynx at the level of the sixth cervical vertebrae. the trachea then bifurcates into two principal bronchi at the level of the intervertebral disc between the fourth and fifth thoracic vertebrae.TracheatracheatracheatracheaThe trachea, more commonly known as the windpipe.the tracheaThe pharnyx? I'm guessing.The airway between larynx and bronchi is the trachea , or the windpipe.
