The bronchi split multiple times within the lungs. The main bronchus divides into the right and left primary bronchi, which then further branch into secondary (lobar) bronchi, and subsequently into tertiary (segmental) bronchi. This branching continues into smaller bronchi and bronchioles, resulting in approximately 23 generations of branching before reaching the alveoli.
