Anatomical reason for left bronchus to be elevated

Question

Describe the anatomical reason for the left bronchus to be much elevated than the right bronchus? Why in many cases of aspiration of foreign material through children is the object found in the right bronchus?

Answer 1

The left bronchus is much elevated than the right bronchus as of the position of the heart in the left side of the chest, inferior and anterior to the left bronchus.

Accidentally aspired objects are often found in the right bronchus since the inferior angle among the trachea and this bronchus is lower than inferior angle among the trachea and the left bronchus as the left bronchus is much horizontalized. Thus aspired objects tend to fall in the right side (that is, bronchus) and not in the left.
