   • 1922, The American Journal of Anatomy - Volume 30, page 274:

     The 3a dichotomizes into branchings marked 4a and 4b, of which 4b has not been followed any further, but 4a again divides dichotomously into 5a and 5b, whose walls show alveolar outbranchings, so that they are to be regarded as respiratory bronchioles.
