The lungs contain approximately 23 generations of airways, starting from the trachea and branching into progressively smaller bronchi and bronchioles. In total, there are about 300,000 to 500,000 individual airways, which include both the large bronchi and the smaller terminal and respiratory bronchioles. These airways facilitate the movement of air in and out of the lungs, leading to the alveoli where gas exchange occurs.
