Intrapulmonary passages
Intrapulmonary passageways are subdivided into those that conduct air to the respiratory portion (conducting portion) and those involved with gas exchange (respiratory portion). Passageways included in the conducting portion are secondary bronchi and bronchioles. Components of the respiratory portion are respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts and alveoli.
