Question 1

When a foreign object is aspirated, it is more likely to lodge in the right lung than the left. Which structural characteristic of the right primary bronchus accounts for this phenomenon?

  1. It is narrower and branches at an acute angle.
  2. It is wider and more vertically oriented. (correct answer)
  3. It has more cartilaginous rings making it rigid.
