Match the term lobar bronchi with the most closely related description given below: Superior portion of the pharynx Bridge of the nose Nose, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, nasal conchae, and nasopharynx Windpipe Lobar bronchi Contains and protects the glottis Larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli of the lungs Provide protection for the vocal folds Positions and stabilizes the larynx Segmental bronchi Introduction: Bronchi refer to the main pathway for the air to enter into the lungs. They become narrower and shorter as they get near to the lung tissue. Once they enter lungs, they are regarded as bronchioles. These bronchioles then evolve into the alveoli. Alveoli are tiny airbags and it is labeled as the primary site of gas exchange in the respiratory system.
