Q1. Which segments form the right superior lobe?

• Apical, posterior, anterior
• Medial, lateral, superior
• Superior, anterior basal, posterior basal
• Superior lingular, inferior lingular, medial

Q2. Which segments form the right middle lobe?

• Anterior and posterior basal
• Superior and anterior
• Apical and posterior
• Lateral and medial

Q3. Which segment lies highest in the right inferior lobe?

• Superior segment
• Anterior basal segment
• Posterior basal segment
• Medial basal segment

Q4. Which five segments are typically present in the right inferior lobe?

• Three apical plus two medial segments
• Apical plus four lingular segments
• Two superior plus three lingular segments
• Superior plus four basal segments

Q5. Which segments are commonly combined in the left superior lobe?

• Medial and lateral
• Apical and posterior
• Anterior and lingular
• Superior and posterior basal

Q6. Which left lung segments correspond functionally to the right middle lobe?

• Superior lower-lobe segment
• Apicoposterior segment only
• Basal segments
• Lingular segments

Q7. Which left lower-lobe basal segments are often combined?

• Superior and posterior basal
• Lateral and posterior basal
• Anterior and medial basal
• Apical and anterior basal

Q8. Why are pulmonary veins useful landmarks between bronchopulmonary segments?

• They form the segmental bronchi
• They run in intersegmental planes
• They run inside segmental bronchi
• They supply only the pleura

Q9. Which structures travel centrally within each bronchopulmonary segment?

• Segmental bronchus and pulmonary artery
• Vagus nerve and thoracic duct
• Phrenic nerve and pulmonary vein
• Pulmonary veins only

Q10. Why are bronchopulmonary segments surgically important?

• They lie outside the lungs
• They can be individually resected
• They contain no bronchi
• They lack blood vessels
