This is actually a mnemonic from last week’s material. But this was in the textbook, First Aid for
USMLE 2007 under the respiratory section. So I thought it was worth mentioning:
Pulmonary artery location on each lung, in relation to the bronchi.

Right lung the pulmonary artery will be Anterior to the main bronchi.
Left lung the pulmonary artery is located Superior to the main bronchi.
Remember the bronchi have cartilage so they should be easy to identify.
