The
trachea
branches into
two
main bronchi at the carina (bifurcation).
The
trachea
branches into
two
main bronchi at the carina (bifurcation).
The
trachea
has
C-shaped cartilage rings
that keep it open during breathing.
The trachea is the
windpipe
, which connects the
larynx
to the bronchi.
Each lung is divided by
fissures
, which are thin membranes that separate
lobes.
Each lung has
three
lobes separated by
horizontal fissures.
Each lung is divided by fissures, which are
membranes
that
separate
lobes.
The left lung has
two
lobes separated by an
oblique fissure.
The right lung has an additional
oblique fissure
separating its
upper lobe
from the middle and lower lobes.
The right lung has an additional
oblique fissure
separating its
upper lobe
from the middle and lower lobes.
The
trachea
is lined with
ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium
, which helps to move mucus upwards towards the pharynx.

The right lung has

The right lung has
three
lobes separated by oblique and
horizontal
fissures.
The lungs have
pleural
cavities between them and the
chest wall.
The left lung has
two
lobes -
upper
and lower.
The right lung has an
oblique fissure
separating its upper and
lower
lobes.
The right lung has three lobes - superior,
middle
,
inferior.
The left lung has
two
lobes - upper lobe,
lower
lobe.
The trachea is lined with
ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium.
The right lung has three lobes -
upper lobe
, middle lobe,
lower lobe.
The lungs have a smooth outer layer called
pleura.
The right lung has
three
lobes separated by both an oblique and
horizontal
fissure.
The left lung has no
oblique fissure
because the heart takes up space on the
left
side.
The left lung has both an
oblique
and
horizontal
fissure separating its superior and inferior lobes.
The lungs have a smooth outer surface called
pleurae.
Bronchial tubes branch into smaller airways called
bronchioles
, which end in
alveoli.
The
bronchi
are divided into smaller branches called bronchioles, which end in
alveoli
where gas exchange occurs.
The
parietal pleura
lines the inside of the
thoracic
cavity.
The
parietal pleura
lines the inside of the
thoracic
cavity.
The bronchioles have smooth muscle surrounding them, allowing for
contraction
during coughing or sneezing.
The bronchioles have smooth muscle surrounding them, allowing for
contraction
during coughing or sneezing.
Bronchial tree refers to all the branches of the
trachea
down to the
alveoli.
Bronchial tree refers to all the branches of the
trachea
down to the
alveoli.
Bronchial
tubes branch into smaller airways called
bronchioles.
The bronchi are divided into smaller tubes called
bronchioles
which end at
alveoli.
The
lungs
have a
smooth muscle
layer that contracts during expiration to force air out of the alveoli.
The
pleural
membrane consists of
visceral
(inner) and parietal (outer).
The diaphragm contracts to
increase
the volume of the
thorax
during inspiration.
The
bronchioles
are the smallest
airways
that branch off from the terminal bronchiole.
