Lung Segments

The human lungs are divided into various segments that play crucial roles in the respiratory system. Each lung consists of different lobes—specifically, the right lung has three lobes, while the left lung has two, due to the presence of the heart. Within these lobes, the lungs are further divided into smaller units called bronchopulmonary segments. There are typically ten segments in each lung, each supplied by its own bronchus and blood vessels, allowing for efficient gas exchange. Each segment operates independently, which means that if one area is affected by disease, the others can continue to function normally. Understanding lung segments is essential for diagnosing and treating various pulmonary conditions, as well as for surgical planning, helping to ensure that targeted interventions do not compromise overall lung function.
