Lungs Flashcards
Bifurcation of the trachea
Stems the two main bronchi
On the right lung the pulmonary arteries and veins are anterior to?..
The branchii
Each main bronchus divides into
Lobar bronchi
Two on the left, three On theright
Each lobar bronchus divides into
Segmental bronchi…that supply the bronchopulmonary segments
Each bronchopulmonary segment is supplied independently by a segmental bronchus > more branches that end in …
Terminal bronchioles> respiratory bronchioles> alveolar ducts> alveolar sacs

Each lung has ___ pulmonary arteries and ____ pulmonary veins
1 p.a.
2 p.v.
P.a. Carry poorly oxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation
- divide into lobar and segmental arteries ( within lung)
Bronchial arteries
Supply blood to the structures making up the root of the lungs, the supporting tissues of the lung, and the visceral pleura
