  1. Anatomy of the trachea and broncheal tree By; Dr. Eman Abdelghany Assistant Prof. of Anatomy & Embryology Al-Qassim university

  2. Anatomy of the trachea Length:10 cm Width: 2 cm Begins: as a continuation of larynx, at lower border of cricoid cartilage (C6). Ends:by dividing into two main bronchi opposite the disc between 4th & 5th thoracic vertebrae. It lies in midline of neck in front of esophagus and behind thyroid gland. Upper1\2 in the neck called cervical part, and Lower 1\2 in the thorax(in superior mediastinum) called thoracic part, It shows slight deviation to the right. Carina Y shaped last ring

  3. Trachea Trachialis muscle

  4. Anatomy of the trachea continue, 15-20 incomplete cartilaginous rings (C –shaped)-completed by trachealis muscle posteriorly. Becomes intra-thoracic at 6th cartilaginous ring The last tracheal ring is Y- shaped called the carina. The Carinais the site of branching to left and right primary bronchi , at the tracheal bifurcation. The posterior wall is trachealis muscle which, allows esophageal expansion during deglutition

  5. Bronchial Tree A highly branched system , The air-conducting passages originate from the left and right primary bronchi. Progressively branch into narrower tubes as they diverge throughout the lungs before terminating into terminal bronchioles. Primary bronchi. -Incomplete rings of hyaline cartilage ensure that they remain open.Theyenter the hilum of each lung. Right primary bronchus is, shorter, wider, and more vertically oriented than the left primary bronchus. Foreign particles are more likely to lodge in the right primary bronchus

  6. Bronchial Tree continue, Secondary bronchi (or lobar bronchi) • Branch of primary bronchus • left lung: 2 lobes 2 secondary bronchi • Right lung 3 lobes 3 secondary bronchi. Tertiary bronchi (or segmental bronchi) • Branch of secondary bronchi • left lung is supplied by 8 to 10 tertiary bronchi. • right lung is supplied by 10 tertiary bronchi • supply a part of the lung called a bronchopulmonary segment.

  7. Broncho pulmonary segments: -well defined sectors of lung. • Each is aerated by segmental bronchus , separate branch of pulmonary artery.veins are intersegmental. -each segment is surrounded by connective tissue and forms a separate respiratory unit . -shape: pyramidal with apex at the hilum and the base towards surface of lung.

  8. + Medial basal segment 10 segments

  9. Arise by common stem Med. Basal ,small. May arise by common stem with ant. basal

  10. Nasal Cavity Throat (pharynx) Nose Mouth Windpipe (Trachea) Bronchus Left lungs Bronchiole Ribs Alveolus Diaphragm

  11. The End! The End So Take a Deep Breath and Go Home
