Detailed explanation-1: -Your bronchi (BRAWN-kai) are the large tubes that connect to your trachea (windpipe) and direct the air you breathe to your right and left lungs. They are in your chest. Bronchi is the plural form of bronchus. The left bronchus carries air to your left lung.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The TRACHEA (windpipe) is the passage leading from your pharynx to the lungs. The RIBS are bones supporting and protecting your chest cavity. They move a small amount and help the lungs to expand and contract. The trachea divides into the two main BRONCHI (tubes), one for each lung.
Detailed explanation-4: -The bronchial tubes, which branch into smaller tubes called bronchioles, are sometimes referred to as bronchi or airways.
