Final answer:
In an individual large airway there is lower resistance compared to an individual small airway which has higher resistance.
Step-by-step explanation:
Resistance increases because it will be harder for air to flow through the airways. A small tubular diameter in a small airway forces air through a smaller space, causing more collisions of air molecules with the walls of the airways. This increased collision leads to higher resistance. On the other hand, a larger airway has a larger tubular diameter, allowing for easier air flow and lower resistance.
