bronchial tubes
Breathing tree branches
The bronchial tubes are the airways that branch from the windpipe into the lungs, dividing into progressively smaller passages.
They carry air to and from the lung tissue where oxygen exchange occurs.
Inflammation or constriction of these tubes causes conditions like bronchitis and asthma: The doctor said my bronchial tubes were inflamed.
