The lungs are connected to the upper airway by the trachea and bronchi. The trachea runs down the neck and divides into left and right bronchi behind the sternal angle (at the level of the fourth thoracic vertebra T4). The right main bronchus is shorter, wider and runs more vertically than the left. For this reason, it is more common to aspirate foreign objects into the right lung.🏁
