About this document
Anatomy of Bronchopulmonary Segments by Geraldine is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes the anatomy and physiology of the lungs. It describes the lungs as pyramid-shaped organs connected to the trachea via the bronchi. Each lung is divided into lobes by fissures and further divided into bronchopulmonary segments. Gas exchange takes place in the alveoli. The lungs are supplied by the pulmonary circulation and innervated by the autonomic nervous system. Respiration is controlled by respiratory centers in the brain and chemoreceptors that detect changes in blood gases.
