Question

Branches of the trachea that enter the lungs and are supported by cartilaginous bronchial rings are ___.

• A. bronchi
• B. bronchioles
• C. alveoli
• D. larynx

Answer 1

The correct option is A

bronchi

Branches of the trachea that enter the lungs and are supported by cartilaginous bronchial rings are called bronchus. Bronchioles are the minute branches into which a bronchus divides. Alveoli are the many tiny air sacs of the lungs that allow for the rapid exchange of gases. The trachea, also called the windpipe, is a cartilaginous tube that connects the pharynx and larynx to the lungs.
