Bronchopulmonary segments is the division of the lobe of a lung. Each segment of the lobe is supplied by it's own artery.
Each of the tertiary bronchi serves a specific bronchopulmonary segment. These segments each have their own artery. Thus, each bronchopulmonary segment is supplied by a bronchus, and an artery.There are 10 bronchopulmonary segments in the right lung (3 in superior lobe, 2 in middle lobe, 5 in inferior lobe) and 8-10 segments on the left (4-5 in upper lobe, 4-5 in lower lobe). Each segment is separated from the others by a layer of connective tissue.This means that each bronchopulmonary segment is a discrete anatomical and functional unit, and this separation means that a bronchopulmonary segment can be surgically removed without affecting the function of the other segments.
Most human beings are born with 1 pair of lungs, a left lung and a right lung. The left lung holds both the cranial and caudal lobes . The right lungs holds the middle, cranial and caudal lobes.

Each lung is divided into lobes by fissures. The right lung has three lobes separated by two fissures (horizontal and oblique), while the left lung has two lobes separated by one oblique fissure.
Each lung has more than one "lobe" or section. The right lung has three, and the left lung has only two to leave room for the heart where the upper left lobe would be.
Only the right lung has a middle lobe.
There are about 30,000 of them in each lung.
There are 10 bronchi in each lung.
