The Bronchial Tubes
By Larien Bharwani

What is the path to your lungs?

Well there are two windpipes connected to the bronchial tubes .The bronchial is an upside down tree. Bronchial tubes are like tunnels that lead to both of your lungs and they are found somewhere around the bottom of your windpipe(Trachea). If there is a new tunnel the opening is smaller then the other one, and it grows bigger in one year The smallest twig in the bronchial tree ends up in the lungs. The bronchial tubes can break into small pieces which are called the
Bronchioles then the Alveoli’s.
