Abstract:
The lengths and diameters of the trachea and bronchi, the angle formed at the bi-furcation of the trachea were measured in 141 Chinese adult cadavers. The length of the trachea measured in 141 specimens was 71--134 mm with110.77?9.94 mm as an average. The internal transverse diameter of the trachea was9.5--22.0 mm, having an average of 16.17?2.61 mm. The internal sagittal diametervaried from 8 to 22.5 mm, with 14.73?2.68 mm as the average. The transverse dia-meter is greater than sagittal. The angle formed at the bifurcation of the trachea variedfrom 35?--92?, averaged 68.09??11.82?. The angle is greater in female than in the malefor about 5?. The left bronchus had a length of 42--63 mm (average, 51.89?4.18 mm),doubled that of the right one (15--36 mm average, 26.18?4.05 mm).
