Each of the tertiary bronchi serves a specific bronchopulmonary segment. These segments each have their own artery. Thus, each bronchopulmonary segment is supplied by a bronchus, and an artery. There are 10 bronchopulmonary segments in each lung (human) (3 in right superior lobe, 2 in middle right lobe, 5 in right inferior lobe) and on the Left (5 in left superior lobe, 5 in left inferior lobe). Each of which is separated from the others by a layer of connective tissue. This means that each bronchopulmonary segment is a discrete anatomical and functional unit, and this separation mean that a bronchopulmonary segment can be surgically removed without affecting the function of the other segments. href="/Parietal_pleura_link.html" title="Parietal pleura">parietal pleura (cervical, costal, mediastinal, diaphragmatic)&_160;• visceral pleura&_160;• pulmonary ligament&_160;• recesses (costomediastinal, costodiaphragmatic)&_160;• pleural cavity
