Bronchioles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The trachea is the long tube that connects your larynx (voice box) to your bronchi. Your bronchi send air to your lungs. Your trachea is a key part of your respiratory system.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-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.
