| Further branches of primary bronchi | Secondary bronchi |
| Secondary has # lobes on right | 3 |
| Secondary has # lobes on left | 2 |
| Why are the number of lobes in the lung different | The heart take up more space on the left side, thus only room for 2 lobes |
| Bronchi become smaller and smaller until they become | Bronchioles |
