The primary bronchi enter the lungs at an area called the

As the primary bronchi enter the lungs, they branch off into smaller secondary bronchi that carry air to each lobe of the lung. Thus, the right bronchus branches off into 3 secondary bronchi while the left lung branches off into 2 secondary bronchi. The secondary bronchi further branch into many smaller tertiary bronchi within each lobe. The secondary and tertiary bronchi improve the efficiency of the lungs by distributing air evenly within each lobe of the lungs.
