Best Answer

When you breath in ( inhale) the air enters the lungs through the Bronchi/Bronchus which divides up into smaller airways called BRONCHIOLES, the bronchioles send air into the inside walls of the lungs where the alveolia allow oxygen to be absorbed by the blood cells and oxygenate the blood transfer throughout the body

so basically the bronchiles send air into the inside walls of the lungs to allow the alveolia to absorb oxygen and transfer it throughout the body, the alveolus/alveolia is a air sac that holds the oxygen.

bronchi are small tubes that come from a large tube called the trachea (windpipe). the bronchi and bronchioles are tubes in your lungs that connect to air sacs in your lungs that give your body the oxygen that it needs. that's why you get short of breath and tired when you have bronchitis (inflammation of the bronchi)

The brochiole's function is to allow oxygen to pass into the aveoli (air sacks covered in capillaries) where the oxygen can then enter your blood stream.
