The trachea splits into two tubes called the _______, which enter each lung individually and divide into secondary and tertiary bronchioles.

• Bronchi

• Alveoli

• Trachea

• Larynx

What are the single-celled sacs of air with thin walls. It facilitates the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules into or away from the bloodstream.
