the passages that direct air into the lungs.
A
lungs
B
trachea
C
bronchi
D
alveoli
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The bronchi are the passageways that connect your windpipe to your lungs. You have two main bronchi in your right and left lungs that divide and branch off into smaller segments, like tree branches. At the end of your bronchi, the alveoli exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Respiratory System 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-3: -When you inhale through your nose or mouth, air travels down your pharynx (back of your throat), passes through your larynx (voice box) and into your trachea (windpipe). Your trachea is divided into two air passages called bronchial tubes. One bronchial tube leads to your left lung, the other to your right lung.

Detailed explanation-4: -They bring oxygen into our bodies (called inspiration, or inhalation) and send carbon dioxide out (called expiration, or exhalation). This exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is called respiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -The bronchi (singular. bronchus) extend from the trachea (also called the “windpipe"). [2] Together, these two structures form the tracheobronchial tree of the lungs. The trachea is the trunk of the tree located in the superior mediastinum.
