Anatomically, this model focuses on the location of the various segmental bronchi, but the model also shows the lungs, trachea and larynx with the hyoid bone (os hyoideum).
The trachea divides into a left and right main bronchus, each of which divides into 2 and 3 lobed bronchi, respectively. These, along with the throat, are pictured in white.
The lap bronchi divide into segmental bronchi, each of which supplies an area (segment) of the lungs with air. On the model, the individual segmental bronchi are depicted in different transparent colors to make it easier to distinguish them from each other.
On the model, the lungs are reproduced in a transparent material, which makes it possible to see the different segmental bronchi from the outside. In addition, the various furrows that divide the lung tissue into lobes (fissura obliqua and fissura horizontalis) can be seen. The lungs can be detached so that the bronchial tree can be studied in detail.
