Aus Dornheim Anatomy
During physical activity, for example sports, the bronchial tubes change. The muscles of the bronchi are activated by the sympathetic nervous system. This leads to a relaxation of the muscles around the bronchi. This increases the diameter of the bronchi and allows more air to pass through them to the alveoli. As a result, the blood can be supplied with more oxygen.
