You Would Not Expect to Find _______ in the Lung

Question

You would not expect to find _______ in the lung.
A) the trachea
B) bronchioles
C) elastic tissue
D) capillaries

Accepted Answer

The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is the airway that leads to the lungs. Once it reaches the lungs, the trachea branches into smaller airways called bronchi, which further divide into smaller bronchioles. Elastic tissue and capillaries are indeed found in the lung, but the trachea is not.
