The lungs are actually composed of a series of tubes. The first is the trachea, which brings air from your mouth and nose to inside of your chest (in an area known as the thorax). The trachea splits into two tubes called the bronchi, in which one of each goes to the actual tissue that we call the lungs. From there the bronchi split in a treelike fashion into smaller tubes called bronchioles, which in turn split again and again and get smaller and smaller. The terminal point of each bronchiole is a small sac like structure called an alveolus, which is the primary location of gas exchange within the lungs. Each alveolus is surrounded by a small capillary from the bloodstream which has a thin wall that is only one cell layer thick, allowing for easy exchange of oxygen and carbon monoxide molecules across the membrane.

trachea is the tube that connect the throat and lungs, while oesophagus is the tube that connect our mouth to the stomach.. so there is different tube that must not be confuse..
The path of air into the lungs is mouth/nose to pharynx to windpipe (or trachea) to the bronchi to the bronchioles to the alveoli.
The trachea (or windpipe) carries gases from the throat to the bronchi, which carry gases into and out of the lungs.
The trachea, or windpipe, splits into two main branches called bronchi to carry air into and out of the lungs
The main large tube that carries air to the lungs is known as the trachea. From there it is divided into two branches called bronchi, which then further divide into bronchioles and further divides into alveoli.
