Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?

72% Answer Correctly

nervous

circulation

respiration

digestion


Solution

The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
