The bronchi are passages that direct air into the lungs, which are the main organs of the respiratory system. Inside of the lungs, each bronchus divides into smaller and smaller tubes, resembling the branches of a tree. At the end of the tubes are the alveoli, which are the tiny sacs of lung tissue specialized for the movement of gases between air and blood.
How can breathing dry air stress your respiratory?
The air entering your lungs should be at 100% humidity (at body temperature), (Your nose is designed to take care of that.) If not, then the respiratory tissues (closest to your mouth & nose) will be dried out - and they can't function if desiccated. Thus, a part of your respiratory system will be non-functional.

What are the parts that make up cardiovascular system and the respiratory system?
The cardio-respiratory system consists of the cardio vascular system (heart and blood vessels) together with respiratory system (lungs and air ways).anything other than those are NOT component of the The cardio-respiratory system.
