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 else can I help you with?
What is the name and function of one Respiratory system?
the lungs. in the lungs there is are cool little things called bronchioles and in these bronchioles there are many hundreds of smaller things called alveoli.
Are bronchioles found in the larynx?
No, bronchioles are found in the lungs, not the larynx.
What do the bronchioles connect?
The Bronchioles connect the brochi and the alveoli
Lungs are masses of?
Bronchioles
What are the parts of the respiratory system and give the function of each?
The major parts of the respiratory system include the lungs, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. The lungs are the primary organ where gas exchange occurs, the trachea and bronchi function to transport air to and from the lungs, and the bronchioles help regulate airflow. The alveoli are responsible for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in the bloodstream.
What is the function of terminal bronchioles?
The bronchioles are divided into three types, each becoming progressively smaller. Terminal bronchioles are the second type and the final airways in the conduction zone. All bronchioles control the amount of air distributed through the lung by constricting and dilating.
What are the tiny air sacs at the end of the smallest tubes in the lungs?
The smallest tube in the lungs is the Bronchus
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.

What is the smallest group of passages in the lungs?
Bronchioles..
What are the canals in your lungs called?
They are called bronchioles.
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.
One of these go to each lungs?
Bronchioles. Bronchi, actually. Bronchioles are smaller and more numerous.
