Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -When a person breathes, air comes in through the nose or mouth and then goes into the trachea (windpipe). From there, it passes through the bronchial tubes, which are in the lungs. These tubes let air in and out of your lungs, so you can breathe. The bronchial tubes are sometimes referred to as bronchi or airways.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are a number of causes of tracheal and bronchial stenosis, but the most common is prolonged intubation, or use of a breathing tube. Other causes include: Congenital (present at birth) External injury to the throat.
