Structure, size of trachea and bronchial tree are well known in modern
time. There are hundreds of research about respiratory anatomy
havebeen done in developed countries. Our team interested that when
and how airway structure to become investigated. In Shinong king’s
period (2838 – 2699 BCE) human anatomical feature was described
rough and ready and note down in books and other treatises. In Guang
– Tae king’s period ( 2698 BCE), the trachea divided into 7 pieces in
the thorax cavity described in medical treatise named “Nei King” .Since
8th century BCE when autopsy introduced in India, the morphology
started in science as evidence based science. All the theories at the
time based on research findings represent that medical science has
been developed as a evidence based science since 16thcentury in
Mongolia. The late 18 century, period of renaissance technology and
science, structures of the respiratory system start investigated in detail.
1889 V.Ewart , There are many scientists attempt to measure size of
airway structures, unfortunately the results were quite different that may
due to material, method and anatomical feature differences. Thus,
future intensive research is needed in order to prosecute out previous
docotr’s and scientists studies.

Background:In recent years the respiratory tract diseases, including
chronic bronchitis and others, are increasing, and all developed
countrieshave already determined the normal Airway measurements.
But there is a lack of the studies on normal tracheal and bronchial
branches measurements, which could be serve as the control groups
for the pathological ones. Thus the purpose of this study is to measure
and identify tracheal tube and I-III bronchi of health Mongolian adults.
Materials and Methods:The materials were developed by
bronchography procedure, and histological methods; and the results
assessed by hypothesis testing. Results: The trachea lenght for male
was 120.54±4.07 mm; thebronchi length: right 1stbronchi as
28.00±3.04мм, the left - 42.79±2.18 mm, the 2ndbronchus - 25.99±1.38
mm, the 3th bronchus - 24.95±1.80 mm. The tracheal diameter for
female was 17.95±2.27 mm; the bronchial diameter: 1stbronchus /right/
- 12.86±0.80 mm, the left - 11.44±0.60мм, the 2ndbronchus - 9.28±0.40
mm, the 3rdbronchus - 4.69±0.35 mm. Conclusion:The results show
that the trachea and I-III bronchi length and diameter measurements’
differences are not statistically significant on gender, p=0.879 and
p=0.669 separately.
