Solution:
Air flows through the lung's complicated network of air-carrying tubes called bronchioles, which branch off the windpipe like the many branches on a tree trunk. Each branch ends in a tiny sacs (or pockets) called alveoli, where oxygen passes into the bloodstream. These increase the surface area for respiratory exchange of gases tremendously.
