Document Summary

Posterior ends of ring joined by smooth muscle (trachealis) Carina = branching point into bronchi: bronchopulmonary segments each have their own air & blood supply. Thoracic cavity consists of a parietal & visceral pleura. Between these two pleurae is the pleural cavity: at the front of the chest, the ribs and van are located in between the pleura. The root of the lungs is where the primary bronchi, pulmonary artery & veins enter and exit (also known as the root/hilus of the lung: hilum of the lung (mediastinal surface of the lung): Primary bronchus bifurcates earlier than the left lung. The principle of serous cavity formation is identical to pushing a fist inside a balloon. Clinical condition: pleural effusion: white arrows indicate areas of fluid accumulation below both lungs. Lung: surface anatomy & bronchial tree: right side: 1) superior lobe, 2) middle lobe, 3) inferior lobe.
