The air gets into the lungs through the bronchioles. Bronchioles end in little bags called ____
A
Alveolus
B
Bronchioles
C
Bronchi
D
Lungs
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -Your bronchioles are some of the smallest airways in your lungs. Inhaled air passes through tiny ducts from the bronchioles into elastic air sacs (alveoli). The alveoli are surrounded by the alveolar-capillary membrane, which normally prevents liquid in the capillaries from entering the air sacs.

Detailed explanation-4: -At the end of each bronchiole are tiny air sacs called alveoli. This is the place where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide actually happens.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The bronchioles pass air from the remainder of the respiratory (or bronchial) tree and into the alveoli.
