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...

Direct continuation of the cervical trachea Begins at the upper border of the superior mediastinum (jugular notch of the sternum ) Ends at the bifurcation of the trachea into the main bronchi , at the level of T4 –T7 (most commonly T5) The main structure and portions of the trachea Image...
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...
PrimarybronchiBronchiThe larger air passages of the lungs arising from the terminal bifurcation of the trachea. They include the largest two primary bronchi which branch out into secondary bronchi, and tertiary bronchi which extend into bronchioles and pulmonary alveoli.Bronchial Tree: Anatomy ...
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 ...
Follow the trachea to the carina, where it divides into the left and right principal bronchi. Principal bronchi then enter the lung hilum with pulmonary arteries, veins and lymph nodes. The lymph nodes surrounding the hilar are not typically seen in healthy people, while the vessels and bronchi...
