Airway passage branching off the trachea to the right and left lung fields.
The two main branches leading from the trachea to the lungs, providing a passageway for air. The trachea divides opposite the third thoracic vertebra into the right and left main bronchi. The point of division, called the carina trachea, is the site where foreign bodies too large to enter either bronchus would rest after passing through the trachea. The right bronchus is shorter and more vertical than the left one. After entering the lung each bronchus divides further and terminates in bronchioles.
Two cartilage-ringed tubes that go from the trachea to each lung.
The intricate system of cylindrical conduits that transport atmospheric gases towards the pulmonary organs, facilitating the exchange of respiratory substances within the alveolar cavities and enabling the subsequent elimination of expended air from the pulmonary compartments.
The two primary divisions of the trachea, which is the plural form of bronchus.
