Very small bronchi are called as bronchioles. You have cartilage rings in case of the bronchi. Such rings are absent in case of the bronchiloles. You need such C shaped cartilage rings in case of bronchi, so that they should not get collapsed. The bronchioles are in periphery and they can not collapse because they are very small muscular tubes. C shaped cartilage saves lot of muscle mass of the bronchi to prevent them from collapsing.

What is the name of the small subdivision of the bronchi?
Bronchi divide into bronchioles.
What are the different types of bronchioles?
There are the bronchi and bronchioles
What is the two tubes that connect to the trachea and to bronchioles called?
Trachea branches to the mainstem bronchus branches to the lobar bronchi branches to the segmental bronchi to the bronchioles branches to the terminal bronchioles branches to the respiratory bronchioles branches to the the alveolar ducts finally lead to the alveoli.Or... Trachea to Bronchus (Bronchi) to the bronchioles to the alveolar ducts to the alveoli.
What are bronchioles connected to?
Bronchioles are connected to................ the Aveoli and the Bronchi
Air passageway between trachea and lungs?
The subdivisions of the respiratory tree are, from trachea to lungs, are trachea, mainstem bronchi, segmental bronchi, subsegmental bronchi, terminal bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles and alveoli.There are about 20 subdivisions of bronchi and bronchioles, they are not named individually.== ==

What does each lung consist?

What does air pass through after the trachea?
After the trachea, air goes into the primary bronchi, then interpulmonary bronchi, then bronchioles, then terminal bronchioles, then into the alveoli.
Are bronchioles smaller than bronchi?
Yes, bronchioles are smaller than bronchi. The bronchi are larger air passages that branch off from the trachea and divide into smaller bronchi, which then further divide into even smaller bronchioles. Bronchioles have a diameter of less than 1 millimeter and lack cartilage, whereas bronchi are larger and contain cartilage for structural support.
Smaller branches of the bronchi?
bronchioles
After the bronchi what comes next?
Bronchioles
The smaller tubes that connect from the bronchi?
Bronchioles
