The Airway · Lungs
The two main branches — one into each lung.
At the bottom of your windpipe the road forks: one branch heads into the right lung, one into the left. These are your two main bronchi.
They aren't symmetrical. The right bronchus is wider and drops at a steeper angle — a piece of trivia with real consequences, because anything accidentally inhaled usually ends up in the right lung.
