The respiratory looks like an upside down tree, from the trunk to the branches and to fruit (such as an apple).

From largest to smallest, the respiratory system consists of the throat to main bronchi, to bronchioles, to terminal bronchioles, to alveolar ducts, to alveolar sacs (aveoli look like tiny grapes).

The smallest of the air distribution tubes in the respiratory tract are the?

—Bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli - looks like an upside down tree.◦Trachea is the main trunk that divides into◦Right bronchus and left bronchus. As the bronchi enter the lungs they divide into smaller and smaller branches.◦The smallest tubes whose walls are made only of smooth muscle are called bronchioles.◦Bronchioles further divide into microscopic tubes called alveolar ducts which resemble the main stem of a bunch of grapes.◦Alveolar ducts end in several alveolar sacs arranged like a clusters of grapes.◦The walls of the alveolar sacs are made up of numerous alveoli each of which resembles a single grape.


What are the smallest divisions of the bronchial trees?

bronchiolesBronchiolesThese are called bronchioles.bronchiolesbronchiolesthis is the wrong answer, The bronchioles divide into smaller and smaller tubes, ending in microscopic branches that divide into Alveolar ducts, which end in several alveolar sacs.Think of it like a bunch of grapes, the aveolar ducts are the stem, the grape clusters represent an alveolar sac, and each grape represent an alveolus.Alveoli is where the oxygen has to reach to begin gas exchanges between air and blood.Bronchioles

What are the 3 types of bronchioles?

The three types of bronchioles are terminal bronchioles, respiratory bronchioles, and conducting bronchioles. Terminal bronchioles are the smallest airways in the respiratory system that lead to the respiratory bronchioles where gas exchange occurs. Conducting bronchioles are larger airways that branch off the main bronchi and help to conduct air to the smaller bronchioles.


What are the smallest and most distal structures that remain a component of the conducting zone in the respiratory tract?

The smallest and most distal structures that remain a part of the conducting zone in the respiratory tract are the terminal bronchioles. These bronchioles are the final branches of the conducting airways before reaching the respiratory zone where gas exchange occurs in the alveoli.
