Bronchial blood vessels
Bronchial vessels are shown in the walls of these bronchioles. In order to supply tissues that form the wall of respiratory passageways, bronchial vessels must lie within the wall, making their diameter smaller than the thickness of that wall. 200x, 400x

Pulmonary artery >
A pulmonary artery lies adjacent to the bronchiole on the right. This vessel travel alongside the respiratory passageway, eventually supplying deoxygenated blood to alveolar capillaries.
