ALMAGUER RODRIGUEZ, Carmen; DURAN MATOS, Mayda  and  OLIVEROS VIAMONTES, Georgina. Diametres of the main bronchies and pulmonary vessels at the level of the pulmonary hilum in man. AMC [online]. 2001, vol.5, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1025-0255.

Macroscopic and microscopic dissective was performed through the V. Variabiar Method to 25 anatomic blocks of human fetuses and adult man of both sexes. The diameter of the main bronchus, artery and veins in the rigth and left pulmonary hili and these diameters were compared in both pulmonary hili. In human fetuses, standard diameters of the main bronches and of pulmonary veins are very similar in both pulmonary hili white the rigth pulmonary artery has a diameter almost of twice thickering of this vessel in the left pulmonary hili. In the adult man, all elements studied of the pulmonary hilum had greater diameter in the reight pulmonary hilum, it was also obseved greater thicknening of the rigth main bronchus in relation to the left.
