PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The airway that leads from the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi (large airways that lead to the lungs). Also called windpipe. Anatomy of the respiratory system showing the trachea, the right and left lungs and their lobes, and the bronchi.

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, which begins at the edge of the larynx, divides into two bronchi and continues into the lungs. The trachea allows air to pass from the larynx to the bronchi and then to the lungs. The bronchi divide into smaller bronchioles which branch in the lungs forming passageways for air.

Detailed explanation-4: -Air enters your body through your mouth or nose and it passes through the larynx and trachea. The trachea, also called the windpipe, branches into a bronchus in each lung. The bronchi then branch out again and become smaller and smaller passageways until they end in tiny air sacs called alveoli.
