Question

hilium of lung

Answer 1

The term "hilium of the lung" refers to the area of the lung where the main bronchus, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves enter or exit the organ. It is located in the medial region of each lung, near the middle section where the bronchi branch off into the lung lobes. The hilum acts as a gateway for the passage of air, blood, and other structures in and out of the lungs.
