b. larynx — trachea — lobar bronchi — primary bronchi — bronchioles — segmental bronchi

c. larynx — trachea — primary bronchi — lobar bronchi — segmental bronchi — bronchioles

d. larynx — primary bronchi — trachea — lobar bronchi — bronchioles — segmental bronchi

e. none of these are correct

Answer 1

Answer

Option C) Larynx — trachea — primary bronchi — lobar bronchi — segmental bronchi — bronchioles

• Larynx is the passage way for air that connects to the trachea (wind pipe).
• Trachea divides into left and right primary bronchus that enters each lung.
• Primary bronchus further divides into lobar or secondary bronchi.
• Locar bronchi further divides into segmental or teritary bronchi.
• Tertiary bronchi branches into very small air passages called bronchioles.
