Asymmetric lung increases particle filtration by deposition

Human lung is known to be an asymmetric dichotomously branched network of bronchioles. Existing literature on the relation between anatomy and air-flow physics in the tracheobronchial trees has discussed the results of asymmetry. We discuss a secondary (but an important) lung function to seek asymme...
