Bronchioles. Air enters through the mouth, down the trachea and into the left and right main bronchi (which lead to the left and right lungs respectively) The bronchi then branch off continually into smaller and smaller bronchi. The very smallest of these are called bronchioles and they end in tiny air sacs called alveoli.
What else can I help you with?
What is tiny sacs within the lungs which increases the respiratory surface?
The alveoli in the lungs.
What is name of the tiny air-sacs at the end of smallest bronchioles in the lungs?
alveoli. they are the basic functional unit of the lungs. it is where gas exchange occurs.
What is the tiny air sack found within the lungs?
alveolus
Tiny sacs within the lungs which increase the respiratory surface?
the aveoli
Tiny sacs within the lungs which increases the respiratory surface?
alveoli
Tiny sac within the lungs which increases the respiratory surface?
Alveolar sac and alveoli
What are alvedi?
Tiny, delicate air sacs deep within the lungs, where the gas/blood exchange occurs.
Tiny sacs within the lungs which increasethe respiratory surface?
They are called alvioli (al-vee-oh-li)
What is responsible for the spongy appearance of the lungs in the rat?
The thousand upon thousand tiny air sacs called the alveoli, which is the where gas exchange within the lungs take place :)
What two organs that fill up with air when you inhale are the?
This one can be a tricky answer. It could be the lungs if you count them as two individual parts or it can be the lungs and aveoli which are the tiny air sacs within your lungs that also fill up with air when you breath.
The job of alveoli?
The tiny sacs within the lungs which allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to move between the lungs and the bloodstream is called alveoli. It is needed by the body to supply oxygen.
What is the brachia tree?
I think this is the description of what the tiny air passages in your lungs look like. When casts were first made of the inside structure of the lungs, (of dead people!) they resemble exactly the trunk branches and twigs of a tree. This is the "tree" of tiny pipes that allows the air to reach a huge surface area in the lungs to transfer gases into and out of the blood.
