Bronchopulmonary segments (right lung)
Normally, there are ten bronchopulmonary segments in the right lung. These are described by a standard nomenclature: individual segments are numbered from the apex of the lung passing inferiorly.
In a large percentage of the population there is an accessory bronchopulmonary segment, the subapical segment, in the inferior lobe.
