"Each segment has its own pulmonary arterial branch; thus, the bronchopulmonary segment is a portion of the lung supplied by its own bronchus and artery. Each segment is functionally and anatomically discrete, allowing a single segment to be surgically resected without affecting its neighbouring segments."
"There is some form of segmental symmetry between the right and left lungs, even though the left lung is smaller and only contains two lobes. Each lung has 10 segments: the upper lobes contain three segments, the middle lobe / lingula two and the lower lobes five. Bilaterally, the upper lobes have apical, posterior and anterior segments, and the lower lobes superior (apical) and four basal segments (anterior, medial, posterior and lateral). With this basic symmetric anatomy shared between the lungs, there are a few differences that can be described:"
