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: -The trachea is the tube that connects your voice box with your bronchi in your lungs. It’s a key part of the system that helps you breathe. Your trachea is made of thick rings of cartilage.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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-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.
