Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?
respiration |
|
nervous |
|
digestion |
|
circulation |
The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles.

Work is measured in:
horsepower |
|
amps |
|
watts |
|
joules or newton-meters |
Work is performed on an object when an applied force causes displacement along the same vector. Measured in joules (J) or newton-meters (Nm), work is calculated by multiplying force times displacement: \(W = \vec{F}\vec{d}\)
