Air travels to and from the lungs though two branches of the trachea called bronchi (one branch equals bronchus; 2 is bronchi). The bronchi subdivide within the lobes of the lungs into smaller and smaller air vessels called bronchioles or bronchioli (singular), that terminate in alveoli. When the alveoli inflate with inhaled air brought in through the bronchi, oxygen enters into the blood. When air is exhaled through the bronchi, the alveoli deflate to expel carbon dioxide and other waste gases from the blood.
