Basal segmental rights: previous (RB8) at hour 12, medial (RB9) at the center and the later (RB10) at hour 5.
View of the lower right lobe. In order of appearance: apical of the inferior (RB6) in hour 3, paracardiac (RB7) in hour 8 and in the center the trunk that goes to the three basal, anterior (RB8), medium (RB9) and posterior (RB10).
Entrance to the right upper lobe and its three segmental: anterior (RB3), apical (RB1) and posterior (RB2), at hours 9-12 and 3 respectively.
From left to right: segmental medial (RB5) and lateral (RB4) of the middle lobe bronchus.
Entry of the middle lobe in hour 11. The trunk of the basal ones in the center with its segment RB 6 or apical in the hour 4.
Intermediate bronchus. It only exists in the right lung, with a diameter of 12 mm and length of 20, leads to the middle lobe, which is at hour 9 in this image, and to the lower lobe, towards the bottom.
