Summary Introduction
To review:
The anatomical location of a barrette swallowed unintentionally by a 1-year old girl.
Introduction:
Babies/Toddlers have the habit of swallowing anything they come across, which may prove to be a major health hazard for them. Respiratory passageways have inbuilt mechanisms to prevent harmful particles from entering. However, there are physical limits to the size of the particle that can be avoided.

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?
