Begin with the trachea.
Add the left and right main bronchi.

From here the bronchi divide into the lobar and then segmental bronchi.

We will investigate each lobe separately.

Using the Highlight or Draw tool, identify the carina.
Rotate to visualize the tracheobronchial tree from the right side.
