One of the two large tubes that connect the trachea to the lungs
Real World Example
Imagine you're at a busy train station trying to catch a train home, but you need to choose the correct platform that leads you to your destination. In a similar way, the bronchus acts as a 'platform' that directs airflow from the trachea to the lungs, ensuring it reaches the right 'destination' within the body. Just as the train platform splits the flow of passengers towards different trains, the bronchus divides the airflow into two paths, guiding it into each lung for efficient breathing.
