In the model that you built of the respiratory system, what structure did the straws represent?

1 answer

In a model of the respiratory system, straws often represent the bronchi and bronchioles. These structures are the air passages that branch from the trachea into the lungs, allowing air to flow in and out. The straws simulate how air moves through the respiratory tract and can help illustrate concepts such as airflow, resistance, and the mechanics of breathing.
