It refers to the branch from the bronchi that enters one lobe of one of the lungs
"Lobar bronchus" literally means a bronchus that supplies a lobe of the lung. It is a branch of the main bronchus that further divides into smaller bronchi to provide air to specific lung lobes.
It refers to the branch from the bronchi that enters one lobe of one of the lungs
It goes: trachea Mainstem Bronchus lobar bronchus segmental bronchus bronchiole Alveolar duct Aveolus
The smallest is a segmental bronchus. The trachea is the largest and branches into the main (left and right) bronchi which then branch several times before branching into lobar bronchi and then segmental bronchi. Each lung is made up of lobes (generally the left lung has 2 lobes and the right has 3) and the lobes are comprised of segments.
Trachea branches to the mainstem bronchus branches to the lobar bronchi branches to the segmental bronchi to the bronchioles branches to the terminal bronchioles branches to the respiratory bronchioles branches to the the alveolar ducts finally lead to the alveoli.Or... Trachea to Bronchus (Bronchi) to the bronchioles to the alveolar ducts to the alveoli.
There are five (5) secondary bronchi (aka lobar bronchi). Three (3) on the right: 1) superior lobar bronchi 2) middle lobar bronchi 3) inferior lobar bronchi And two (2) on the left: 4) superior lobar bronchi 5) inferior lobar bronchi
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. The right main bronchus has 3 subdivisions, which become secondary bronchi also known as lobar bronchi, which deliver air to the 3 lobes of the right lung.
