It is not the single tube. From the throat you have a single tube that goes down. Then it divides into two branches. Each divide into about ten branches. Then starts the real division. Each of the ten branches divide into two, into two, into two. Like wise they divide about 17 times. Then you have the alveoli. It's pleural of the alveolus. These thin sacs continue to divide 6 more times. That gives you the surface area of about 1000 square feet. This is all like the branching of the big tree and the leaves.
