  • Lungs are the organs responsible for gas exchange with the bloodstream.
  • Bronchial tubes are the two main branches that carry air into the lungs.

  • Lungs are the organs responsible for gas exchange with the bloodstream.
  • The trachea is the windpipe, which carries air from the larynx to the bronchi.

  • Lungs are the organs responsible for gas exchange with the bloodstream.
  • Tracheal rings support the walls of the trachea.
  • The lungs have two lobes, the right lung has three lobes while the left lung has only one lobe to accommodate the heart.
  • Tracheal rings support the walls of the trachea and prevent it from collapsing during breathing.
  • The trachea is also known as the windpipe, which carries air from the larynx to the bronchi.
  • Tracheal rings support the walls of the trachea and prevent it from collapsing during breathing.
  • The bronchioles branch off from the bronchial tubes, leading to smaller and smaller passages until they reach the alveoli.
  • Each lung is divided into segments by connective tissue septa that contain bronchioles and arteries.
  • Cilia are tiny hair-like projections on the surface of cells that move back and forth to sweep away mucus and debris.
  • Tracheal cartilage forms rings around the trachea to keep it open during breathing.
  • Cilia are hair-like projections on cells that line the respiratory tract.
  • Cilia are hair-like projections on cells that line the respiratory tract.
  • The pleural membrane covers the surface of the lungs and lines the thoracic cavity.
  • Mucous glands produce mucus, which helps trap foreign particles and bacteria in the respiratory tract.
  • Alveoli are tiny sac-like structures where oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out.
  • Capillaries surround the alveoli and transport oxygenated blood away from the lungs.

  • Cilia are tiny hair-like projections on cells that line the respiratory tract and move mucus upwards towards the throat.
  • Cilia are tiny hair-like projections on cells that line the respiratory tract and move mucus upwards towards the throat.
  • The diaphragm is a sheet of muscle located at the bottom of the ribcage that contracts and relaxes to aid in breathing.
  • Bronchioles are small tubes that branch off from bronchi and lead to alveoli.
  • Bronchioles are small tubes that branch off from bronchi and lead to alveoli.
  • The diaphragm is a sheet of muscle located at the bottom of the ribcage that contracts and relaxes to aid in breathing.
  • Alveolar ducts lead to clusters of alveoli where gas exchange occurs between air and blood.
  • Alveoli are tiny sac-like structures found at the end of the respiratory tract where oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out.
  • Mucous glands produce sticky secretions called mucus.
  • Pulmonary capillaries surround the alveoli and exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with the bloodstream.
  • Gas exchange occurs at the level of the alveoli, where oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out.
