Respiratory System: Bronchopulmonary Segments 251

Distribution of bronchopulmonary segments of the lungs and their relation to the bronchial tree (after J. F. Huber).

The bronchopulmonary segments are morphologically and

functionally separate, independent respiratory units of the

lung tissue. Each segment is surrounded by connective

tissue that is continuous with the visceral pleura. The

segmental bronchi are centrally located in each segment

and are closely accompanied by branches of the pulmonary

arteries, whereas the tributaries of the pulmonary veins run

between the segments. Thus, the veins serve two adjacent

segments that drain for the most part into more than one

vein. A bronchopulmonary segment is therefore not a

complete vascular unit, but segmentation is the result of a

specific architecture of the lung vasculature.
