Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structure**: The question asks about the structure that arises from each terminal bronchiole. This indicates we are looking for a specific anatomical feature related to the respiratory system. 2. **Understand the Function**: The terminal bronchioles are the last part of the conducting zone of the respiratory system. They lead to structures involved in gas exchange. The question hints at a structure that is thin-walled and vascularized, which is crucial for gas exchange. 3. **Recall the Anatomy**: In the respiratory system, after the terminal bronchioles, the next structures are the alveoli. Alveoli are small, balloon-like structures that are the primary sites for gas exchange in the lungs. 4. **Confirm the Characteristics**: Alveoli are indeed very thin-walled, irregularly shaped, and surrounded by a network of capillaries, making them highly vascularized. This structure allows for efficient diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide. 5. **Conclude the Answer**: Therefore, the structure that each terminal bronchiole gives rise to is called **alveoli**. ### Final Answer: Each terminal bronchiole gives rise to a number of very thin, irregular walled, and vascularized bag-like structures called **alveoli**. ---
