THE BRONCHI

The two =bronchi=, right and left (Bronchus dexter, sinister), are

formed by the bifurcation of the trachea. Each passes backward and

outward to the hilus of the corresponding lung. The right bronchus is a

little wider and less oblique in direction than the left. They are

related ventrally to the divisions of the pulmonary artery, and dorsally

to the branches of the bronchial artery and the bronchial lymph glands.

Their structure is similar to that of the trachea.
