The Carina.
The bronchial tubes, or bronchi, begin at the trachea (windpipe) where it bifurcates into the left and right main bronchi at the level of the fifth thoracic vertebra (T5). These main bronchi then branch into smaller secondary (lobar) bronchi and further into tertiary (segmental) bronchi within the lungs, facilitating airflow to each lung lobe and segment.
The 'Carina'.
The secondary bronchi go into the LOBES of the right and left lung. There are 3 lobes in the right lung and 2 lobes in the left lung, both having lobar bronchi.
there are 3 bronchi going into the right lung
The right bronchi
The point at which the trachea splits into the right and left mainstem bronchi is called the carina. Hope this helps.
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 trachea branches into the left and right airways at the carina. These branched airways are called the bronchi.
The right bronchi is larger because the left has to make room for the heart.
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.
The Bronchi starts just after the trachea turns left ore right
