The quantitative anatomy of the bronchi has been studied in sudden deaths in normal subjects, in deaths from status asthmaticus and chronic bronchitis, and in patients with emphysema. In the normal bronchi the observed range of values for the percentage volume of mucous glands was between 7·6 ...
The bronchi are the two large tubes that carry air from the windpipe (trachea) into the lungs and back out again. A crucial part of the respiratory system, the bronchi function primarily as passageways for air, bringing oxygen into the lungs and expelling carbon dioxide. The bronchi branch...

This report demonstrates the normal cross-sectional appearance of the bronchial tree as seen on computed tomography. Key sections are emphasized in order to provide general orientation. Where significant, anatomic variations are identified. Detailed knowledge of the normal appearance of the bronchi is a...

For practice of any surgery, it is essential to know the anatomy of each structure involved in the technique, as well as the elements that surround it. The trachea is not just a tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi, as well as other organs of the respiratory tree; it has the ...
carinal bifurcation into the right and left mainstem bronchi. This is located at the level between the fourth and fifth thoracic vertebral bodies. In infants, the trachea is approximately 5 to 6 cm in length and reaches length of 10 to 13 cm in adulthood.4These lengths vary with the ...
