Air passages that are less than 0.5 mm in diameter are terminal bronchioles, whereas respiratory bronchioles are under 1 mm in diameter.

Tubular airways that begin the respiratory zone?

The tubular airways that begin the respiratory zone are the respiratory bronchioles. These structures branch off from the terminal bronchioles and are lined with alveoli, where gas exchange between air and blood occurs. The respiratory bronchioles mark the transition from the conducting zone to the respiratory zone of the lungs.


Air passageway between trachea and lungs?

The subdivisions of the respiratory tree are, from trachea to lungs, are trachea, mainstem bronchi, segmental bronchi, subsegmental bronchi, terminal bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles and alveoli.There are about 20 subdivisions of bronchi and bronchioles, they are not named individually.== ==


What is the relationship between bronchi bronchial tubes and bronchioles?

It is all a matter of size and there they are on the bronchial 'tree'. The pharynx is the trunk. The primary bronchi are the first two large branches (going to each lung). They branch to form tertiary bronchi.Each tertiary bronchus branches into multiple bronchioles, which branch further into the very smallest conducting branches, the terminal bronchioles.Each terminal bronchiole branches to form several respiratory bronchioles, where gas exchange takes place.


What is the part of the resporty tree which the alveoli are attched?

The alveoli are attached to the respiratory tree at the terminal bronchioles, which are the smallest branches of the bronchi. From the bronchioles, air passes into the alveolar ducts and then into the alveolar sacs, where the alveoli are clustered. This structure allows for efficient gas exchange between the air in the alveoli and the blood in the surrounding capillaries.
