Answer 3

alveoli

Question 4

What is the bronchial circulation?

Answer 4

It is the systemic vascular supply to the lung, and it supplies blood to conducting airways down to the level of the terminal bronchioles as well as nerves, lymph nodes, visceral pleura, and the walls of large pulmonary vessels.
