What else can I help you with?
Which of the following is not a component of the lungs bronchi or alveoli or pharynx?
alveoli
Which organ contains alveoli bronchioles and bronchi?
The lungs contain alveoli, bronchioles, and bronchi. Alveoli are tiny air sacs where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide in the blood. Bronchioles are small airways that branch from bronchi, which are larger airways that lead to the lungs.
Which of these have very thin cell membranes Lungs alveoli or bronchi?
Lungs A +
Branches of the windpide that lead into the lungs are the?
trachea- primary bronchi- secondary bronchi- tertiary bronchi- bronchiole- alveoli
What are the structures that allow for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and blood?
The tiny air sacs of the lungs were oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged are the alveoli.
What do the bronchioles connect?
The Bronchioles connect the brochi and the alveoli
What are the names of the tubes that air travels down to get to the lungs (in order from biggest to smallest)?
Trachea, primary bronchi, secondary bronchi, tertiary bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli!
What is the of the bronchi?
Air travels to and from the lungs though two branches of the trachea called bronchi (one branch equals bronchus; 2 is bronchi). The bronchi subdivide within the lobes of the lungs into smaller and smaller air vessels called bronchioles or bronchioli (singular), that terminate in alveoli. When the alveoli inflate with inhaled air brought in through the bronchi, oxygen enters into the blood. When air is exhaled through the bronchi, the alveoli deflate to expel carbon dioxide and other waste gases from the blood.
Which part of the respiratory system divides into smaller and similar tubes in a pattern that resembles the branches of a tree?
The bronchial tree, comprised of bronchi and bronchioles, divides into smaller and similar tubes resembling a tree's branches. This branching pattern allows air to reach the alveoli in the lungs efficiently for gas exchange.
What are the small air tubes that lead to the alveoli called?
The small air tubes that lead to the alveoli are called bronchioles. They branch off from the bronchi and continue to subdivide into smaller tubes within the lungs, eventually ending in the alveoli where gas exchange occurs.
What are small air sacs in your lungs?
Alveoli, (from Latin alveoli, "little cavities") are an anatomical structure which have the form of hollow cavities. Found in the lung, the pulmonary alveoli are spherical extensions of the respiratory bronchioles (small air passages leading off the windpipe) and are the primary sites of gas exchange with the blood. Alveoli are only found in the lungs of mammals.
Alveoli in the lungs are connected to the bronchi by a network of tiny tubes called?
Bronchioles.
