What structure is located between the trachea and bronchiole?

The trachea splits into the left and right bronchi in the thoracic cavity(the chest). From there the bronchi continue to branch out and keep getting smaller. Kind of like the branches on a tree. At the end of the those branches (bronchioles) are the alveoli( tiny grape like structures). In the alveoli is where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occur.
