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.
What else can I help you with?
The other path from the throat leads to the lungs it is called?
Bronchus.....bronchial tube, wind pipe, etc.
What flexible tube located dorsal to the heart and lungs?
The trachea is the flexible tube located dorsal to the heart and lungs. It is part of the respiratory system and carries air to and from the lungs.
What is Treachea?
The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is a tube in the throat that carries air to and from the lungs during breathing. It is made up of cartilage rings to keep it open and prevent collapse. The trachea branches into two bronchial tubes, leading to the left and right lungs.
Largest tube of the respiratory tract?
The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is the largest tube in the respiratory tract. It carries air from the larynx to the bronchi and is essential for the passage of air into the lungs for respiration.
Are throat and windpipe the same?
No. The windpipe is a thin-walled, cartilaginous tube descending from the larynx to the bronchi and carrying air to the lungs. It is really called the trechea. The esophagus on the other hand goes into your stomach and the food goes down it.
What tube carries oxygen to the lungs?
The trachea located in throat is the first tube that brings oxygen into the body. The bronchial tubes actually bring air into the lungs for oxygenation.
The other path from the throat leads to the lungs it is called?
Bronchus.....bronchial tube, wind pipe, etc.
What branching tube carries air into the lungs?
The Trachea!
What is the tube called between the throat and lungs called?
trachea is the tube that connect the throat and lungs, while oesophagus is the tube that connect our mouth to the stomach.. so there is different tube that must not be confuse..The path of air into the lungs is mouth/nose to pharynx to windpipe (or trachea) to the bronchi to the bronchioles to the alveoli.The trachea (or windpipe) carries gases from the throat to the bronchi, which carry gases into and out of the lungs.The trachea, or windpipe, splits into two main branches called bronchi to carry air into and out of the lungsThe main large tube that carries air to the lungs is known as the trachea. From there it is divided into two branches called bronchi, which then further divide into bronchioles and further divides into alveoli.
What are the bronchi and what do they do?
bronchi is a tube like structure. It carries air to lungs.
What are the names of the two paths that lead to the throat?
The two paths that lead to the throat are the trachea, which carries air to the lungs, and the esophagus, which carries food to the stomach.
How does the bronchi and what is its job?
bronchi is tube like structure. It carries air to lungs.
The thin-walled tube which carries air from the nose and mouth into the lungs?
trachea
What is the organ that carries air in to and out of the lungs?
throat/ esophagus
What tube carries air to and from the lungs?
the trachea (windpipe)
What flexible tube located dorsal to the heart and lungs?
The trachea is the flexible tube located dorsal to the heart and lungs. It is part of the respiratory system and carries air to and from the lungs.
What is the trachea and what is its function?
The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is a tube that carries air from the mouth and nose to the lungs. Its main function is to provide a passageway for air to enter and exit the lungs, allowing for breathing to occur. The trachea is lined with cilia and mucus to help filter and clean the air before it reaches the lungs.
