Bronchopulmonary segments are the functionally and anatomically distinct subdivisions of the lung lobes. Each segment is aerated by a single segmental (tertiary) bronchus and supplied by its own branch of the pulmonary artery. These segments are separated by thin connective tissue septa, making them discrete units that can be surgically removed without affecting adjacent lung tissue. Understanding bronchopulmonary segmentation is essential for thoracic anatomy, radiology, and segmental lung ... The bronchopulmonary segments are the basic structural and functional units of the lungs. Each lung is divided into lobes, which are further divided into segments . The right lung has three lobes (upper, middle, lower) comprising 10 segments . The left lung has two lobes (upper, lower) comprising 10 segments . Each segment is supplied by its own segmental bronchus and has a pyramidal shape with the apex pointing towards the lung root. - Download as a PPTX, PDF or view online for free The bronchopulmonary segments are functional regions of the lung supplied by bronchial sudivisions and pulmonary arteries. The right lung has 10 segments : the upper lobe is divided into an apical, an anterior and a posterior segment; the middle lobe is divided into a medial and a lateral segment; and the lower lobe is divided into a superior ... Each of the tertiary bronchi serves a specific bronchopulmonary segment. These segments each have their own artery. Thus, each bronchopulmonary segment is supplied by a segmental bronchus, and two arteries, a pulmonary artery and a bronchial artery which run together through the center of the segment. Veins and lymphatics drain along the edges.There are 10 bronchopulmonary segments in the right lung (3 in superior lobe, 2 in middle lobe, 5 in inferior lobe) and 9 segments on the left (4 in ...
