the respiratory conducting tubes distal to the respiratory bronchiole that lead to the alveolar sacs and the alveoli
In human anatomy, respiratory bronchioles exists proximal to the alveolar ducts. The epithelial lining consists of smooth muscle knobs covered by nonciliated, simple cuboidal cells. The smooth muscle constricts under parasympathetic innervation and relax under sympathetic innervation
