Bronchioles and alveoli

The video tutorial explores the anatomy of the lungs, focusing on the bronchial tree, bronchioles, and alveoli. It explains the pathway of air from the mouth to the alveoli, detailing the structure and function of each component. The tutorial also covers the nervous and vascular systems associated with the lungs, including the role of the pulmonary artery and veins. A clinical scenario of segmental atelectasis is discussed, highlighting the impact of blockages in the bronchial tree. The video concludes with a review of the key concepts covered.
