THE MEASUREMENTS OF THE LENGTH AND DIAMETER OF CHINESE TRACHEA,BRONCHUS AND SEGMENTAL BRONCHI / 解剖学报

ABSTRACT

The length and diameter of trachea,bronchus and segmental bronchi were mea-sured from 70 cases (50 adults and 20 children).The length of the segmental bronchi of left lower lobe is always longer thanthat of left upper lobe.The length of the segmental bronchi of right lung showed a regular decreasefrom lower lobe to upper lobe.Using the multivariate statistical analysis the correlations between internalindices such as the length,diameter etc and external indices such as the height dia-meter of chest etc were also studied.
