Bronchi

The video explains the role of the windpipe or trachea in transporting air to and from the lungs. It highlights the structural differences between the right and left bronchus in humans, noting that the right bronchus is slightly shorter. As the bronchi reach the lungs, they further subdivide into smaller airways, facilitating efficient air distribution.

What is the primary function of the trachea?

• To filter blood

• To carry air to and from the lungs

• To digest food

• To pump oxygen into the bloodstream

Which bronchus is shorter in humans?

• Neither, they are part of the trachea

• Both are the same length

• The right bronchus

• The left bronchus

What happens to the bronchi as they enter the lungs?

• They stop functioning

• They merge into a single airway

• They subdivide into smaller airways

• They become part of the trachea

Which of the following is NOT a function of the bronchi?

• Filtering blood

• Subdividing into smaller airways

• Connecting the trachea to the lungs

• Transporting air to the lungs

What is the relationship between the trachea and the bronchi?

• The trachea carries air to the bronchi, which then transport it to the lungs

• The bronchi are part of the trachea

• The trachea and bronchi are unrelated

• The trachea filters air while the bronchi transport it
