    The O2 mask increases the FiO2 therefore increasing the diffusion gradient.
    There is one main pulmonary artery but I don’t know exactly how many branches it has.
    Depends on your definition of bronchi.bronchi have cilia, a Carteligenous out side. So everything down to the bronchilolres id considered brochi.
