The tracheal bronchus is the first branch in the lower part of the respiratory tract that transmits breath from the trachea to the bronchi.
The trachea is a tube 9-14 cm long, with a diameter of 2 to 3 cm. It has several branches coming from its ends. One of them is the Tracheal bronchus. This is a short and narrow tube, the length of which can reach 3-6 cm. Its main function is to transmit breath from the trachea to the bronchi.
Bronchi The tracheal tube is a wide and rigid respiratory tube of round shape. It also has two coils that help it flex and expand, as well as several valves that control air movement. The inside of the tracheal bronchus is covered with a mucous membrane consisting of many small branched folds called bronchial folds.
The main function of the tracheal bronchus is to transmit breath from lungs to lungs. The air that enters the bronchi passes through the mucosal tissue and then moves further into the smaller bronchi.
Diseases affecting the bronchi of the tracheaine can cause various health problems.
