Bronchial Tubes: Location and Function in the Lungs

The bronchial tubes are part of the respiratory system, and they carry air to and from the lungs. The trachea, or windpipe, branches into two main bronchi, which then branch into smaller bronchioles. These bronchioles end in tiny sacs called alveoli, where gas exchange takes place.
