Which part of the respiratory system divides into smaller and similar tubes in a pattern that resembles the branches of a tree?
trachea --> bronchi -->bronchioles --> alveoli
How would you describe the bronchi?
There like tree branches that branch off to the alveoli
Are the alveoli distal or proximal to the bronchi?
The alveoli and bronchi are both parts of the respiratory tree. The main parts of this structure, in the order of air passing through during inspiration are: trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. The alveoli are distal to the bronchi, because they are farther away from the center of the body then the bronchi.
The respiratory zone of the tracheobronchial tree includes?
respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and alveoli
Where does gas exchange occur between the lungs and blood?
An alveolus (plural: alveoli, from Latin alveolus, "little cavity") is an anatomical structure that has the form of a hollow cavity. Found in the lung parenchyma, the pulmonary alveoli are the dead ends of the respiratory tree, which outcrop from either alveolar sacs or alveolar ducts, which are both sites of gas exchange with the blood as well.
What is the function of avleoli?
The alveoli are at the end of the respiratory tree and is where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the lungs and the blood.

What are the small air sacs in the lungs?
These small sac like structure are known as the alveoli . The alveoli help in the exchange of the gases, oxygen & carbon-dioxide,Lungs contain alveoli to increase the surface area and to easily transport oxygen to the blood vessels which surrounds the air sacs. Also, the air sacs have a thin film of oxygen which helps to absorb oxygen quickly.
