subsegmental bronchus

Branch of conducting airway between a segmental bronchus and a preterminal bronchiole. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the subsegmental bronchus is

Branch of conducting airway between a segmental bronchus and a preterminal bronchiole. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the subsegmental bronchus is

It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the respiratory system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the subsegmental bronchus connects to

The atlas records 7 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of bronchopulmonary segment and lobe of lung.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the subsegmental bronchus. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as intrasegmental bronchus. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the subsegmental bronchus?

What does the subsegmental bronchus connect to?

Part of: bronchopulmonary segment and lobe of lung.

Is the subsegmental bronchus the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
