Trachea to Lungs: Understanding the Bronchial Pathway

The trachea, also known as the windpipe, connects to the lungs through two tubes called the bronchi. Each bronchus leads to one of the lungs. Once inside the lungs, the bronchi divide further into smaller tubes called bronchioles. These bronchioles end in tiny air sacs called alveoli, which are where gas exchange takes place between the air and blood.
