The large airways that branch off the trachea are the mainstem bronchi. These branch into progressively smaller bronchioles.
Primary brochi first enter the lungs on both the left and right sides.
The trachea branches off from the larynx, which is located at the top of the neck and serves as the voice box.
The large tubes that branch off from the trachea are called bronchi. The trachea divides into the right and left primary bronchi, which further subdivide into smaller bronchi and bronchioles within the lungs. These passages are responsible for conducting air to and from the lungs during breathing.
The medical root word 'broncho' refers to the bronchus (windpipe).
The first branches off the trachea are called the bronchi. The trachea divides into two primary bronchi, which further branch out into smaller bronchioles within the lungs.
The esophagus and trachea both branch off of the pharynx, which is the common pathway for air and food. The esophagus carries food from the mouth to the stomach, while the trachea carries air from the mouth and nose to the lungs.
These are the bronchi. (One bronchus, two bronchi).

Passages through which air enters the lungs is called the bronchi which branch off of the trachea.
Bronchi are the main airways in the respiratory system that branch off from the trachea. They are lined with mucus-producing cells and ciliated cells that help trap and remove foreign particles from the air. The bronchi also contain smooth muscle that can contract or relax to control airflow.
