All of the following are characteristics of a bronchopulmonary segment except

The bronchopulmonary segments are not drained by independent branch of pulmonary vein. The tributaries of the pulmonary vein tend to pass intersegmentally between and around the margins of segments. A bronchopulmonary segment is the area of lung supplied by a segmental bronchus and its accompanying pulmonary aery branch (Option B) and can be resected surgically (Option A).
