Summary Introduction

To review:

The reason behind the ease of performing surgery for the removal of three adjacent bronchopulmonary segments from the left lung in a tuberculosis patient.

Introduction:

The bronchopulmonary segments are one of the parts of the bronchus tree within the lungs. These segments arise from the secondary bronchus in both of the lungs. They are lung regions supplied by air tubes from the tertiary bronchus and their unique structure helps the body withstand surgical removal.

A surgeon removed three adjacent bronchopulmonary segments from the left lung of a patient with TB. Almost half of the lung was removed, yet there was no severe bleeding, and relatively few blood vessels had to be cauterized. Why was the surgery so easy to perform?
A surgeon had to remove three adjacent bronchopulmonary segments from the left lung of a patient with tuberculosis. Even though almost half of the lung was removed, there was no severe bleeding, and relatively few blood vessels had to be cauterized (closed off). Why was this surgery so easy to perform?
A 60-year-old man has been experiencing chronic respiratory symptoms such as cough and shortness of breath. Pulmonary function tests show decreased lung compliance. Histological examination of lung tissue reveals thickened alveolar walls and an excess deposition of collagen fibers. Which disease is most likely causing these findings?  a) Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis  b) Asthma  c) Emphysema  d) Tuberculosis
