where the trachea bifricates (splits) into bronchi in the lungs
where do they enter and what happens to them when they do
primary bronchi
go into hilum of the lungs and then bifricated into secondary bronchi
how many in each lung? and what happens to them in the lungs
secondary bronchi
2 in the left lunch, 3 in the right lung, all bifircated into tertiary bronchi
cardiac notch
a divit in the left lung that allows space for the heart
how many lobes are in each lung (name them) and why
the right lung has 3 lobes -superior, middle, and inferior lobe - and the left had 2 - superior and inferior lobe- because the cardiac notch takes up too much room for there to be three lobes in the left lung
bifricated into…
tertiary bronchi
bifricated into many terminal/respiratory bronchioles
