polski, plural: Tertiary Bronchi), also known as Segmental Bronchus, is a part of the respiratory system that plays a crucial role in the process of respiration.
Etymology
The term "Tertiary Bronchus" is derived from the Latin word "tertiarius", meaning "third", and the Greek word "bronkhos", meaning "windpipe". This is due to the fact that the tertiary bronchi are the third level of branching in the bronchial tree.
Function
The tertiary bronchi, as part of the bronchial tree, are responsible for carrying air from the trachea and primary bronchi to the lung lobes. Each tertiary bronchus supplies air to a specific segment of the lung, known as a bronchopulmonary segment.
Related Terms
- Bronchus: A passage of airway in the respiratory system that conducts air into the lungs.
