Chest>Bronchial artery
Active
Description
In human anatomy, the bronchial arteries help supply the lungs with oxygenated blood. Although there is much variation, there are usually two bronchial arteries that run to the left lung, and one to the right lung. Like the much larger pulmonary arteries, the bronchial arteries supply the lungs with blood. Unlike the pulmonary arteries, however, the bronchial arteries are part of systemic circulation, that is, they carry oxygenated blood pumped from the left ventricle of the heart. The left bronchial arteries usually arise directly from the thoracic aorta. The single right bronchial artery usually arises from one of the following: 1) the thoracic aorta at a common trunk with the right 3rd posterior intercostal artery 2) the superior bronchial artery on the left sideThe bronchial arteries supply blood to the bronchi and connective tissue of the lungs. They travel with and branch with the bronchi, ending about at the level of the repiratory bronchioles. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
