What is the smallest in diameter a segmental bronchus the trachea the right main bronchus a lobar bron?

The smallest is a segmental bronchus. The trachea is the largest and branches into the main (left and right) bronchi which then branch several times before branching into lobar bronchi and then segmental bronchi. Each lung is made up of lobes (generally the left lung has 2 lobes and the right has 3) and the lobes are comprised of segments.

What is differences between trachea and bronchi?

The trachea, also known as the "windpipe," is the largest tube of the respiratory system. In the adult human it is approximately 5 inches long, and an inch in diameter. It technically begins at the inferior edge of the larynx (aka "voice-box") and continues down toward the lungs. At the inferior end of the trachea it bifurcates, or divides, into two slightly smaller tubes known as bronchi. The primary bronchi each divide into "secondary bronchi." On the right side, the primary bronchus (the term for a single bronchi), divides into a superior and an intermediate bronchus (secondary bronchi) before it enters into the right lung. On the left side, the primary bronchus enters the left lung, then divides into a superior and and inferior bronchus (secondary bronchi.)

What are the branches of the trechea?

The trachea branches into the left and right main bronchi, which further divide into smaller bronchi within the lungs. These smaller bronchi continue to branch into bronchioles, which eventually lead to alveoli where gas exchange occurs.


What are tubes that bifurcate from the windpipe?

Bronchi (primary)


Is the Bronchi part of lungs?

Yes. You have primary, secondary, tertiary and about seventeen such generations of bronchi. They are part of the lungs.
