What is primary secondary and tertiary bronchus?
A primary bronchus is the first branch off the trachea, further branching leads to the secondary bronchus and then tertiary as you get deeper into the lung.
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 reduce air flow to the right lung, leading to inefficient oxygen exchange. This could result in lower oxygen levels and altered oxygen dissociation in the right lung compared to the left lung, which receives adequate airflow.
Which primary bronchus for an inspired object to become lodged?
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.
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.
What is the difference between alveolus of the lung and the bronchus of the lung?
The bronchus of a lung is the tubes leading up to the alveolus of the lung. The alveolus of a lung is the small air sacs at the end of the bronchi (bronchus). The alveoli is where the gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.
What does lobar bronchus mean literaly?
"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.
What is the right infrahilar region of the chest?
The right infrahilar region of the chest is the area located below the right main bronchus as it branches off from the trachea. It is an important region for assessing lung diseases and abnormalities using imaging techniques like chest X-rays or CT scans. Any changes in this region may indicate conditions such as pneumonia, lung cancer, or bronchitis.
Is each lung fed oxygen by a different bronchus?
yes it is. u have two bronchus's, or bronchi.
How would you use bronchus in a sentence?
bronchus diverges from the windpipe. bronchus enters lung and provides air passage.
What is the passageway from the larynx to lung?
the bronchus is one of the major passageways of the lungs that branches off of the trachea.
Large tube to each lung?
It is called the Bronchus
Does the primary bronchi carry air toward each lung?
Yes a primary bronchus carries air toward each lung. After reaching the lungs, the primary bronchi branch off into secondary bronchi which carry the air to the lobes of the lungs, three on the right and two on the left.
