Secondary bronchi
Secondary bronchi are intrapulmonary passages that are part of the conducting portion of the respiratory system. As a secondary bronchus branches from a primary, it becomes smaller in diameter and its wall thins. Cartilage plates and mixed glands remain, distinguishing these passages from bronchioles. Pulmonary arteries accompany secondary bronchi. 40x
