Approximately how many conducting bronchioles are there?
A
12-15
B
20-25
C
30
D
25
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As the bronchioles get smaller they divide into terminal bronchioles. Each bronchiole divides into between 50 and 80 terminal bronchioles. These bronchioles mark the end of the conducting zone, which covers the first division through the sixteenth division of the respiratory tract.

Detailed explanation-2: -The bronchi, bronchioles, and terminal bronchioles are a series of branching airways that represent the conducting system for air to travel from the trachea to the alveolar ducts and alveoli where gas exchange occurs.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
