BRONCHOPULMONARY

SEGMENTS
These are well defined sectors of lung each of
which is aerated by a tertiary or segmental
bronchus
Is a pyramidal shaped segment of lung with
its apex facing the lung root and its base at
the pleural surface
It is separated from the adjacent segments by
connective tissue septa.

BLOOD SUPPLY
Speciality of broncho-pulmonary
segment
Broncho-pulmonary segment is a respiratory
unit. Each BP segment haspulmonary
arteriole, bronchial artery and bronchiole
Is separated from adjacent segments by
connective tissue septa which from inter
segmental planes
Is surrounded by connective tissue which is
continuous on the surface with the pleura
Is supplied independently by a segmental (
tertiary bronchus) and a tertiary branch of the
pulmonary artery

Speciality of broncho-pulmonary
segment
Is drained by the inter-segmental parts of the
pulmonary veins
Pulmonary vein lies in inter-segmental spaces,
so during segmental resection surgeon work
along pulmonary vein
Broncho-pulmonary segment is not a broncho-
vascular segment, because it does not have its
own vein
Each segment has more than one vein and each
vein drains more than one segments
