Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the pseudoglandular phase, which occurs between weeks 5-17 of gestation, the bronchi and bronchioles undergo ~14-16 divisions and reach approximately four generations of branching. This phase is characterized by the formation of conducting airways that resemble glands, hence the name "pseudoglandular."
