Trachea
Bronchopulmonary segments is the division of the lobe of a lung. Each segment of the lobe is supplied by it's own artery.
Each of the tertiary bronchi serves a specific bronchopulmonary segment. These segments each have their own artery. Thus, each bronchopulmonary segment is supplied by a bronchus, and an artery.There are 10 bronchopulmonary segments in the right lung (3 in superior lobe, 2 in middle lobe, 5 in inferior lobe) and 8-10 segments on the left (4-5 in upper lobe, 4-5 in lower lobe). Each segment is separated from the others by a layer of connective tissue.This means that each bronchopulmonary segment is a discrete anatomical and functional unit, and this separation means that a bronchopulmonary segment can be surgically removed without affecting the function of the other segments.
Most human beings are born with 1 pair of lungs, a left lung and a right lung. The left lung holds both the cranial and caudal lobes . The right lungs holds the middle, cranial and caudal lobes.

Each lung has more than one "lobe" or section. The right lung has three, and the left lung has only two to leave room for the heart where the upper left lobe would be.
Each lung is divided into lobes by fissures. The right lung has three lobes separated by two fissures (horizontal and oblique), while the left lung has two lobes separated by one oblique fissure.
Sheep have a total of five lung lobes: the right lung has four lobes (the cranial, middle, caudal, and accessory lobes), while the left lung has one lobe (the cranial lobe, which is divided into cranial and caudal parts). This structure helps facilitate their respiratory needs.
Only the right lung has a middle lobe.
There are about 30,000 of them in each lung.
There are 10 bronchi in each lung.
The superior lobe of the left lung contains three segments: the apical segment, the posterior segment, and the anterior segment. These segments are part of the bronchopulmonary segments, which are functionally and anatomically distinct areas of lung tissue. Each segment has its own bronchus and blood supply, allowing for independent function and surgical resection if necessary.
