What is the tiny sacs found at the end of the branches?

They are called the aveolar sacs .they consists of aveoles and the exchange of gases takes place here.


A very tiny tube that dead ends in a sac within the lungs?

Bronchioles. Air enters through the mouth, down the trachea and into the left and right main bronchi (which lead to the left and right lungs respectively) The bronchi then branch off continually into smaller and smaller bronchi. The very smallest of these are called bronchioles and they end in tiny air sacs called alveoli.


What are the different air passages?

The main air passages in the respiratory system are the trachea (windpipe), bronchi (left and right branches from the trachea), bronchioles (smaller branches from the bronchi), and alveoli (tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs). These passages facilitate the movement of air into and out of the lungs, allowing for oxygen to be absorbed and carbon dioxide to be expelled.

Almost right....the exchange takes place in the alveoli

alveoli. they are the basic functional unit of the lungs. it is where gas exchange occurs.


The air sacs in the lings where gases move into and out of the blood are called?

The air sacs in the lungs where gases move into and out of the blood are called alveoli. They are tiny, thin-walled sacs surrounded by blood capillaries, allowing for efficient gas exchange between the lungs and the bloodstream.


In mammals air enters lungs through tubes called which branch into smaller tubules called which extend out to tiny air sacs called?

In mammals, air enters the lungs through tubes called bronchi, which branch into smaller tubules called bronchioles. These bronchioles extend out to tiny air sacs called alveoli, where gas exchange occurs.


Alveolar ducts alveolar sacs terminal bronchioles respiratory bronchioles bronchi bronchioles What is the order from largest to smallest?

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).
