How will an obstruction in the right primary bronchus affect how oxygen-dissociation for the right lung compare with the left lung?
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.
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.
