bronchus in dogs
The upper conducting airways of the lung; these airways arise from the terminus of the trachea. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

Where the bronchus is
It sits within the respiratory system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.
What the bronchus connects to
The atlas records 27 typed relationships for it, across 8 kinds of connection. part of respiratory airway, respiratory system and tracheobronchial tree, and 1 more.
Supply and innervation
Venous drainage: bronchial vein.
Also called

Questions
Where is the bronchus?

What does the bronchus connect to?
Part of: respiratory airway, respiratory system, tracheobronchial tree and lung.
Is the bronchus the same in other species?
