What is the function of the Bronchioles in the respiratory system?
They're smaller airways that carry air to the alveoli, or small air sacs off of the bronchi.
What is the function of the Thymus in the lymphatic system?
produce and mature T lymphocytes (T cells); protect the body from infections and other threats

to produce blood cells
