Anatomy Of Bronchial Tree
- The trachea at the level of sternal angle will divide into two primary branchi.
- Right bronchus is shorter, wider and vertical.
- Left bronchus is longer, narrower and oblique.
- Each Primary bronchus will divide into secondary bronchi which will supply each lobe of the lung.
- On the right side there are 3 secondary bronchi and on left side there are 2 secondary bronchi.
- Each secondary bronchus will divide into teritiory bronchi which will further divide into teritiory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sac, and finally alveoli.
- These are the functional units of lung where exchange of gases will occur.
