tüdejáratok
Tüdejáratok, meaning "lung passages" or "airways" in Hungarian, refers to the intricate network of tubes within the lungs responsible for transporting air to and from the alveoli, where gas exchange takes place. This system begins with the trachea, or windpipe, which bifurcates into two main bronchi, one for each lung. These bronchi then further subdivide into smaller and smaller bronchioles, progressively narrowing until they terminate in the tiny air sacs known as alveoli.
The walls of the airways are lined with a specialized epithelium that plays a crucial role in
The smooth muscle found in the walls of the bronchi and bronchioles allows for regulation of airflow.
