What is the job of the bronchioles?
The brochiole's function is to allow oxygen to pass into the aveoli (air sacks covered in capillaries) where the oxygen can then enter your blood stream.
How do the Bronchioles function?
Bronchioles are the small branches coming off the bronchi going to avioles which is blood like leaders
What is the function of the bronchioles of the lungs?
ANSWER:The bronchi (singular: bronchus) are where air entering the lungs is sent to each lung. The bronchioles are smaller airways branching off from the bronchi that send the air on to the inside walls of the lungs where the alveoli allow the oxygen to be absorbed by the blood cells and oxygenate the blood for transfer throughout the body.
What kind of blood vessels allow substances to enter and leave the blood easily around the cells?
Capillaries. they have such thin walls that substances can easily diffuse through them.
What are the main structures of the respiratory systems?
The main structures of the respiratory system are:mouthnosepharynx (throat)larynx (vocal cords)trachea (windpipe)bronchi (singular is bronchus; these are the two smaller tubes that are branches of the trachea)bronchioles (even smaller tubes off of the bronchi)lungsalveoli (singular is alveolus; these are tiny sacs on the bronchioles that are surrounded by blood vessels that allow oxygen into the blood)
Is the bronchiole surrounded by blood capillaries?
No, bronchioles are part of the respiratory system and are not surrounded by blood capillaries. Bronchioles are airways within the lungs that help transport air to the alveoli for gas exchange. Blood capillaries are located near the alveoli for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What is the function of the bronchioles?
The bronchi, or bronchus is where the air entering the lungs are sent to each lung. The bronchioles are smaller airways that send the air on to the inside walls of the lungs where the alveolia allow the oxygen to be absorbed by the blood cells and oxegenate the blood for transfer throughout the body. Any of the fine, thin-walled, tubular extensions of a bronchus is a bronchiole that no longer contain cartilage.Function: Control of airflow resistance and air distribution in the lungs is controlled by the bronchioles.

Are the bronchioles blood vessels?
The bronchial tubes lead to the lungs from the esophagus. They are not blood vessels.they branch off of the lungs.
Which organ contains alveoli bronchioles and bronchi?
The lungs contain alveoli, bronchioles, and bronchi. Alveoli are tiny air sacs where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide in the blood. Bronchioles are small airways that branch from bronchi, which are larger airways that lead to the lungs.
At the end opf the bronchioles are small air sacs called what which is where the oxygen enters the blood through the capillaries?
They are called alveoli
What is the job of the bronchi in the body?
When you breath in ( inhale) the air enters the lungs through the Bronchi/Bronchus which divides up into smaller airways called BRONCHIOLES, the bronchioles send air into the inside walls of the lungs where the alveolia allow oxygen to be absorbed by the blood cells and oxygenate the blood transfer throughout the body so basically the bronchiles send air into the inside walls of the lungs to allow the alveolia to absorb oxygen and transfer it throughout the body, the alveolus/alveolia is a air sac that holds the oxygen.
What happens to oxygen after it enter the lungs?
It passes across structures called Alveoli (part of Bronchioles, part of Bronchi) that are full of capillaries to allow blood to pass nearby and pick up the oxygen (binding to red blood cells by osmosis) then that is carried to the heart, then pumped out to the bodies organs which gather the oxygen and trade CO2 for it.Or if you want it simpler;The tissues in the lungs puts that Oxygen into red blood cells which go through your blood stream giving it to organs that need it, such as mussel and your brian.
