A bronchiole has no cartilage in its wall, a bronchus does.

I belive it's a mixture of cartilage and lung tissue containing cila.
That tube is called the trachea. It is also known as the windpipe.
terminal brobchiole is formed as a result of division of respiratory bronchiole. It is extremely thin and end up into alveolar sac ALVEOLAR SAC THESE ARE SMALL SACS WITH 8 TO 10 SACCULES CALLES ALVEOLI. IT HAS CENTRAL AIR PASSAGE. THESE ALVEOLI SERVE AS RESPIRATORY MEMBRANE AND HELP IN EXCHANGE OF GASES
Bronchioles don't have cartilage because they need to be able to constrict and dilate
Nostrils → Nasal Cavity → Pharynx → Larynx → Trachea → Main Bronchus → Lobar Bronchiole → Segmental Bronchus → Bronchiole → Terminal Bronchiole → Respiratory Bronchiole → Alveolar Duct → Atrium → Alveolus
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.
The order of passageways from proximal to distal in the human body is typically mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum), large intestine (cecum, colon, rectum), and anus.

Bronchiole is the medical term meaning small bronchi
The next smaller branch of the respiratory passageway after the tertiary bronchus is the bronchiole, which further divides into terminal bronchioles, respiratory bronchioles, and ultimately alveolar ducts and sacs where gas exchange occurs.
