ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Further down, the trachea divides into two tubes (left and right) called bronchi (BRAHN-kye). The bronchi connect the trachea to the lungs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your trachea divides into your left and right bronchi. The bronchi carry air into your lungs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The first bronchi branch from trachea, and they are the right and left main bronchi. These bronchi are the widest and they enter the lung. After entering the lungs, the bronchi continue to branch further into the secondary bronchi, known as lobar bronchi, which then branch into tertiary (segmental) bronchi.

Detailed explanation-4: -The trachea (windpipe) is the largest airway. The trachea branches into two smaller airways: the left and right mainstem [or main] bronchi. Each lung is divided into sections (lobes): three in the right lung and two in the left lung.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the mediastinum, at the level of the fifth thoracic vertebra, the trachea divides into the right and left primary bronchi.
