the space where the trachea divides is called the "tracheal bifurcation". This is the place in the treacha where it divides into the 2 broncholes that go into the right and left lung. They further divide in to the broncholies and then into aveolary ducts and finally into the arveoli sacs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs.

The trachea is often called the windpipe. The trachea (windpipe) is the tube that connects your mouth and nose to your lungs. It goes on to divide into the two airways (the right bronchus and the left bronchus, together called bronchi), which supply air to each lung. The trachea is in the neck and lies in front of your oesophagus (gullet), which food passes down. The trachea is about 10-16cm (5-7in) long and is made up of rings of tough, fibrous tissue (cartilage). You can feel these if you touch the front of your neck.
Where does the trachea lead to?
The trachea leads to the two bronchi (one for each lung), then to the smaller bronchioles, and then to the alveoli (air sacs).
What is bronchscope?
