AI overview
A bronchus is an airway in your lower respiratory tract that carries air down into your lungs, branching off from your trachea (windpipe) into progressively narrower tubes. These branching airways matter because they're essential for delivering air deep into your lungs, where oxygen can be absorbed into your bloodstream.
