the space where the trachea divides is called the "tracheal bifurcation". This is the place in the treacha where it divides into the 2 broncholes that go into the right and left lung. They further divide in to the broncholies and then into aveolary ducts and finally into the arveoli sacs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs.
What else can I help you with?
What are the large airways that branch off the trachea?
The large airways that branch off the trachea are the mainstem bronchi. These branch into progressively smaller bronchioles.
The inferior end of the trachea divides into the left and right what?
The trachea branches into the left and right airways at the carina. These branched airways are called the bronchi.
What Lines the trachea and upper airways?
Mucosa
What are the main airways that reach into the lungs?
Trachea
The tubes into which the trachea divide to go into each lung?
The trachea branches off into two tubes going to each lung called the Bronchial Tubes.
How do you clear airways?
The Heimlich maneuver is the most common way.
Which structures brings oxygen from the trachea to the Lungs?
It's Bronchi- Gradpoint sucks!bronchi, novanet
What tube in the lungs connects the windpipe to the air sacs?
The bronchi. There is a left and right main bronchus dividing off the windpipe (trachea), each bronchus undergoes several divisions (about 16-17) becoming smaller and thinner before ending on the air sacs (alveoli), which provide the interface between the airways and the blood vessels so that gas exchange can take place.
What structure does the trachea immediately divide into?
bronchi
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.
What are the large diameter airways called?
The largest diameter airways are the mainstem bronchi. Smaller-diameter airways are the bronchioles.
Which part of the respiratory system is the spongy organ that takes in air through the trachea?
The spongy organ in the respiratory system that takes in air through the trachea is the lungs. The trachea branches into smaller tubes called bronchi, which further divide into bronchioles that lead to air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs.
