What type of cartilage is bronchi?
No, bronchioles (except in the whale) do not contain cartilage. The bronchioles in whales contain cartilage in order to prevent them from collapsing before other parts of the airways (and trapping gas in the alveoli). This helps prevent the bends - as nitrogen is removed from the alveoli before large pressures cause it to diffuse across the thin walls present there.

Why bronchi have rings of cartilage?
Think about this one for a minute. Would it be a good idea for the windpipe to fold up like a garden hose every time you bend your head? What would happen if your air supply was cut off every few seconds? The cartilage keeps the trachea and bronchi open at all times.
