What else can I help you with?
An aspirated object is more likely to lodge in the primary bronchus due to its structure.?
Yes, the primary bronchus is larger and more vertical than the secondary bronchus, making it easier for an aspirated object to become lodged there. Additionally, the right primary bronchus is wider and more in line with the trachea, increasing the likelihood of foreign objects getting stuck there.
What is primary secondary and tertiary bronchus?
A primary bronchus is the first branch off the trachea, further branching leads to the secondary bronchus and then tertiary as you get deeper into the lung.
Which primary bronchus is the more likely site for an inspired object to become lodged?
The primary bronchus that is the more likely site for an inspired object to become lodged is the right bronchus. It has a straighter alignment compared to the left bronchus.
Which primary-bronchus is the more likely site for an inspired object to become lodged?
The primary bronchus that is the more likely site for an inspired object to become lodged is the right bronchus. It has a straighter alignment compared to the left bronchus.
Why the site for obstruction in a choking victim is more common in the right primary bronchus than in the left primary bronchus?

Where does the trachea live in are lungs?
The trachea branches off into the primary bronchus , secondary bronchus etc all the way to the alveoli.The primary bronchus is the first extension of the trachea to enter the lungs.
What does the left primary bronchus do?
The function of the left and right primary bronchi is to allow the passage of air to and from the lungs and trachea/windpipe. The only difference between the two bronchi is that the angle of the right bronchus at the carina (point of bifurcation) is straight while the left one is more angled. This is why in case someone aspirates something, it is almost always found lodged in the right bronchus instead of the left (despite sharing a common passageway/trachea).
Which of the primary bronchi is larger in diameter?
The right primary bronchus is larger in diameter.
What part of the primary bronchi is the longest?
Right bronchus
Which primary bronchus for an inspired object to become lodged?
The right primary bronchus is more likely to have an inspired object become lodged in itself because it is more wide than the left primary bronchus and is also located at a steeper angle. It is more wide because the right lung is larger and needs a wider bronchus for air to fill it up.
Why is the right primary bronchus a site for obstruction?
The right primary bronchus is slightly wider and at a steeper angle than the left primary bronchus. This is due mostly to the fact that the heart occupies a larger portion of the left lung than the right. This makes the right lung bigger so it needs a wider bronchus for air to fill it up. Plus since the heart is a bit more to the left, the left bronchus branches off at more of an angle. The combination of these two factors makes the right bronchus more susceptible to obstructions if a foreign object travels down the trachea leading the bronchus.
Which lung region is the primary bronchus located in?
lung lobe
