Differentiate terminal bronchioles from respiratory bronchioles

What will be an ideal response?


Terminal bronchioles branch from bronchioles and are the last part of the conducting zone. Each terminal bronchiole gives rise to two or more smaller respiratory bronchioles. Each respiratory bronchiole branches into two or more smaller alveolar ducts, tubes that contain alveoli along their walls. The respiratory bronchioles are the first part of the respiratory zone.
