In all probability it's on account of the movements of constriction and dilation that the bronchioles are referred to as birds. The poet-anatomists have imagined these elastic movements of these conduits as the flapping of birds' wings!
Garuda, the chief of winged creatures, is said to reside in Plaksadvipa. Then this region must mark the start of the lighter bronchi or the bronchioles.
