The right lung has 3 lobar bronchi.

Lung Bronchi Distribution

The bronchial tree branches throughout the lungs, supplying air to different lobes. The initial division of the trachea leads to the main bronchi, which then further divide into lobar bronchi. According to the provided reference:

  • The left lung contains two lobar bronchi.
  • The right lung contains three lobar bronchi.

These lobar bronchi subsequently branch into segmental (tertiary) bronchi that supply bronchopulmonary segments.
