Lobar bronchus (right inferior lobe)
The right inferior lobar bronchus is a branch of the right principal bronchus that originates at the hilum of the right lung within the lung parenchyma. It divides into five segmental bronchi:
- apical segmental bronchus; supplies apical bronchopulmonary segment
- medial basal segmental bronchus; supplies medial basal bronchopulmonary segment
- anterior basal segmental bronchus; supplies anterior basal bronchopulmonary segment
- lateral basal segmental bronchus; supplies lateral basal bronchopulmonary segment
- posterior basal segmental bronchus; supplies posterior basal bronchopulmonary segment
In this manner, the pattern of lobar bronchi in the right inferior lobe closely mirrors the left side.
