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.

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.


Which of the primary bronchi traps foreign object that entered the respiratory passageways?

Foreign objects that enter the respiratory passageways are more likely to become lodged in the right primary (main) bronchus.


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).


What is the function of your primary bronchus?

The right bronchus is a passage leading from the trachea/windpipe into the right lung. When objects are aspirated, they are more likely to end up in the right bronchus than the left because its angle at the carina (the point where the trachea divides into a left and right bronchus) is more vertical/leads more straight down


Which of the main bronchi is more horizontal?

The right main bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left main bronchus, and it enters the right lung at roughly the level of the fifth thoracic vertebra.In contrast, the left main bronchus is smaller in size, but longer in length than the right main bronchus. The left main bronchus enters the root of the left lung opposite to the sixth thoracic vertebra, passes underneath the aortic arch.
