Bronchopulmonary segments (Right lung) (English)

The right lung consists of 10 bronchopulmonary segments. Just like in the left lung, each bronchopulmonary segment of the right lung also has its own segmental (tertiary) bronchus and segmental branch of the pulmonary artery (of the same name). The superior lobe of the right lung has three bronchopulmonary segments: apical (1), posterior (2) and anterior (3). The middle lobe of the right lung is formed of the lateral (4) and medial (5) segments, while the inferior lobe of the right lung is composed of superior (6), medial basal (7), anterior basal (8), lateral basal (9) and posterior basal (10) segments.
