Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Your trachea divides into your left and right bronchi. The bronchi carry air into your lungs. At the end of the bronchi, the bronchioles carry air to small sacs in your lungs called alveoli. The alveoli perform your body’s gas exchange.
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: -Air enters your body through your nose or mouth. Air then travels down the throat through the larynx and trachea. Air goes into the lungs through tubes called main-stem bronchi.
