Question
which gross feature of the lung receives air from its own tertiary bronchus and is supplied with blood by its own artery?
a.) fissure
b.) lobe
c.) pulmonary lobule
d.) bronchopulmonary segment
A bronchopulmonary segment is a portion of the lung that has its own tertiary bronchus for air supply and its own artery for blood supply. A fissure is a groove between lung lobes. A lobe is a larger division of the lung, and a pulmonary lobule is a smaller unit within the lung but not defined by having its own tertiary bronchus and artery in the same distinct way as a bronchopulmonary segment.
