SubIntima - Bifurcation of Pulmonary Artery

Bifurcation of Pulmonary Artery

After some extremely high turbulence, the HematoCraft remained intact...but just barely. You are lucky to have survived. You are now inside the pulmonary artery, which is the only artery in the body containing deoxygenated blood. Just ahead is its bifurcation¹, and each branch leads to a different lung. An interesting fact about the lungs is that the right lung has three lobes, but the left lung has only two lobes.

Enter the left lung

Enter the right lung

1: bifurcation n. (in anatomy) the point at which division into two branches occurs; for example in blood vessels or in the trachea.
