ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -From the windpipe, air moves into the lungs through tubes called bronchi. The bronchi lead to smaller tubes called bronchioles, which look like the branches of a tree.

Detailed explanation-2: -In your lungs, the main airways, called bronchi, branch off into smaller and smaller passageways. The smallest airways, called bronchioles, lead to tiny air sacs called alveoli.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tiny air sacs at the end of the bronchioles (tiny branches of air tubes in the lungs). The alveoli are where the lungs and the blood exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process of breathing in and breathing out.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the mediastinum, at the level of the fifth thoracic vertebra, the trachea divides into the right and left primary bronchi. The bronchi branch into smaller and smaller passageways until they terminate in tiny air sacs called alveoli.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bronchi are the passages that go into the lungs, bronchioles are tiny tubes that branch out from bronchi and alveolar sacs are tiny pockets that are at the end of bronchioles. The whole bronchial tree will move within the lung when the volume of the lung varies with the thoracic cavity during breathing (respiration).
