Lung lobules vary greatly in size and shape, but each has an apex directed toward the pulmonary hilum and a wider base directed outward. Each lobule contains a single primary bronchiole, which enters at the apex and branches to form five to seven terminal bronchioles. The terminal bronchioles in turn divide, ultimately giving rise to alveoli at the base of the lobule. 2, record 1, English, - lobule%20of%20lung
