ARE BEING DESCRIBED?
1. The tube that transports oxygen
into the bronchial tubes for delivery
into the lungs. It is also referred to
as the windpipe.
2. It is also called the throat, it is
the place where air enters the
respiratory system after entering
the nose or mouth.
3. They provide oxygen to the
blood and remove carbon dioxide
from the blood. They are
positioned on top of the diaphragm
so that the diaphragm can control
the breathing of the cat by
expanding and contracting.
4. They connect the
trachea to the two lungs.
They branch out at the
lungs into smaller tubes
called bronchi and then
into much smaller tubes
called bronchioles, which
contain small air sacs that
function as the exchange
points for the two gases
oxygen and carbon
dioxide.
