The left lung is smaller because the heart takes upmore room on that side of the body.When you breathe in, air enters through your mouth and nose and goes into your lungsthrough the windpipe (trachea). The trachea divides into tubes called the bronchi, whichdivide into smaller branches ...
bronchial vein,vena bronchialis- veins serving the bronchi; empty into the azygos vein cardinal vein- any of the major venous channels in primitive adult vertebrates and in embryos of higher vertebrates central veins of liver,venae centrales hepatis- terminal branches of the hepatic veins that lie...
Stage I: A small lung cancer tumor (less than 3 centimeters across) is discovered, but has not spread to surrounding lung membranes, lymph nodes, or the main bronchial branches of the lungs. Stage II: There are several ways that stage II lung cancer may be diagnosed. One is that the lu...
The terminal bronchioles and their accompanying homologous centrilobular pulmonary arterial branches and lymphatic vessels are “core structures,” being clustered near the center of the secondary pulmonary lobule. Between these core structures and the interlobular septa, numerous alveolar spaces, capillaries...
Airway dimensions were quantified for the 6th and 9th generations of tracheobronchial tree, the very beginning segments of small airways. The findings of this study provided the first comprehensive quantification of airway remodeling in workers exposed to DE aerosol. A comparison of the patterns of ...
Stage 2non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) is localized cancer that has not spread beyond one lung or the locallymph nodeson the same side of the chest. Any lung cancer diagnosis is serious, but being in thisearly stagemeans your disease is very treatable, and your chances for a long-term...
Central tumours were excluded on the basis of CT scan criteria, defined as contact with the intrapulmonary main bronchi, pulmonary artery, pulmonary veins or the origin of the first segmental branches. CT scan was considered negative if lymph nodes were <1 cm at the smaller diameter. 18FDG ...
Central tumours were excluded on the basis of CT scan criteria, defined as contact with the intrapulmonary main bronchi, pulmonary artery, pulmonary veins or the origin of the first segmental branches. CT scan was considered negative if lymph nodes were 0.05). Multilevel pN2 was significantly ...
