What is the function of the bronchioles?
The bronchi, or bronchus is where the air entering the lungs are sent to each lung. The bronchioles are smaller airways that send the air on to the inside walls of the lungs where the alveolia allow the oxygen to be absorbed by the blood cells and oxegenate the blood for transfer throughout the body. Any of the fine, thin-walled, tubular extensions of a bronchus is a bronchiole that no longer contain cartilage.Function: Control of airflow resistance and air distribution in the lungs is controlled by the bronchioles.
