An obstruction in the right primary bronchus will affect oxygen intake. The right lung will not have the ability to draw in as much oxygen as the left lung, resulting in oxygen dissociation.

Most common location of airway obstruction?
primary 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.
Tubular airways that begin the respiratory zone?
Primary bronchus
What type of epithelium would you expect to find on a slide labeled primary bronchus?
Pseudostratified Columnar

Why the site for obstruction in a choking victim is more common in the right primary bronchus than in the left primary bronchus?

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.
If obstruction is in right primary bronchus how would the oxygen hemoglobin curve for right lung compare to left lung?
it would get to the other lung because the air passes throught a diffrent tunnel it would get to the other lung because the air passes throught a diffrent tunnel
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.
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.
Which of the primary bronchi is larger in diameter?
The right primary bronchus is larger in diameter.
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.
What part of the primary bronchi is the longest?
Right bronchus
Tubular airways that begin the respiratory zone?
Primary bronchus
