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.

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.

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.
