Bronquios

The transcript explains the function of bronchi in transporting air to and from the lungs. It highlights the anatomical differences between the right and left bronchi, noting that the right bronchus is slightly shorter. Upon reaching the lungs, the bronchi further subdivide into smaller airways, facilitating efficient air distribution.

What is the primary function of the airways in the lungs?

• To transport air to and from the lungs

• To circulate lymph

• To digest food

• To filter blood

Which bronchus is slightly shorter in humans?

• The left bronchus

• The right bronchus

• Both are the same length

• Neither, they are not present

What happens to the bronchi upon reaching the lungs?

• They disappear

• They become solid structures

• They subdivide into smaller airways

• They merge into a single tube

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

• Transporting air

• Subdividing into smaller airways

• Connecting the trachea to the lungs

• Digesting food

What is the significance of the bronchi subdividing into smaller airways?

• It increases the surface area for gas exchange

• It decreases the volume of the lungs

• It reduces the risk of infection

• It strengthens the lung structure
