The bronchioles are divided into three types, each becoming progressively smaller. Terminal bronchioles are the second type and the final airways in the conduction zone. All bronchioles control the amount of air distributed through the lung by constricting and dilating.

What is the last division of the conducting zone?
terminal bronchioles
What comes first in the respiratory tree the respiratory bronchioles or the terminal bronchioles?
the terminal first
What is the difference between terminal and respiratory bronchioles?
Air passages that are less than 0.5 mm in diameter are terminal bronchioles, whereas respiratory bronchioles are under 1 mm in diameter.
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).
Sympathetic stimulation of terminal bronchioles causes?
Bronchodilation.
How small are the bronchioles in your lungs?
The size of the primary bronchioles are from 0.3-1.0 mm then go further to the terminal bronchioles which are smaller in size which connect to the alveoli.
Which source provides moisture to the terminal bronchioles?
The moisture in the terminal bronchioles is provided by the mucous glands and goblet cells present in the bronchial walls. These cells secrete mucus, which helps to keep the airways moist and trap inhaled particles for removal by the cilia lining the bronchioles.
What is the function and description for bronchioles?
The d
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 organ carries air from your nose and mouth to your lungs?
pharynx . . . Laryx. . . Trachea . . . Bronchi . . Lobar bronchi. . . Segmentel bronchi. . Bronchioles . . Terminal bronchioles.. . Respiratory bronchioles. . Alveolar duct .. . Alveoli
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.
How do the Bronchioles function?
Bronchioles are the small branches coming off the bronchi going to avioles which is blood like leaders
