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-2: -When you breathe in: 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.
