What is the first respiratory structure without cartilage as a supporting tissue?
The first one is the Primary Bronchi
Which has more cartilage the primary bronchi or the bronchioles?
primary
How does the structure of the primary bronchi compare with that of the trachea?
Trachea contain cartilage rings, and is the long tube that goes to the lungs. The bronchi contain cartilage plates and are the branching tubes that go to the lungs.
What is longer in the primary bronchi?
what is longer considering the primary bronchi
When oxygen enters the respiratory system what is the next structure upon leaving the trachea?
bronchi
What are the branches of the trechea?
The treachae divides into the primary bronchi. Then the primary bronchi divides into secondary bronchus, which then divides into tertiary bronchi.
What are the two branches of the trachea?
The wind pipe is called a trachea. It brings air from your mouth down into your lungs. It is a straight tube at the top that separates into two branches, one going into each lung. These are the left bronchus and right bronchus.
What are the terminal ends of the bronchi?
Bronchi is branched in primary and secondary. bronchi is branch of bronchus.
What is the main function of the bronchioles?
There are two primary bronchi which are the first divisions branching off from the trachea to take air into the lungs. The primary bronchi then subdivide into lobar bronchi and then again into tertiary bronchi which continue to divide until they are tiny bronchioles which supply each of the alveoli in the lungs. The left primary bronchus leads to the left lung and the right primary bronchus leads into the right lung. The bronchi contain rings of hyaline cartilage which help to provide flexible support to the airways.
Branches of the windpide that lead into the lungs are the?
trachea- primary bronchi- secondary bronchi- tertiary bronchi- bronchiole- alveoli
What are tubes that bifurcate from the windpipe?
Bronchi (primary)
Which of the primary bronchi is larger in diameter?
The right primary bronchus is larger in diameter.
