    Bronchial arteries carry oxygenated blood to the lungs; Pulmonary capillaries, where there is exchange of water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and many other nutrients and waste chemical substances between blood and the tissues; Bronchial veins drain venous blood from the large main bronchi into the azygous vein, and ultimately the

    A bronchopulmonary segment is a portion of lung supplied by a specific segmental bronchus and its vessels. [1] [2] These arteries branch from the pulmonary and bronchial arteries, and run together through the center of the segment. Veins and lymphatic vessels drain along the edges of the segment.

  6. Pulmonary artery - Wikipedia

[7] When the lungs expand at birth, the pulmonary pressure drops and blood is drawn from ...
