The incidence of a foreign body being aspirated into the right lung is higher than into the left lung. All of the following statements suppo this, EXCEPT:

A foreign body is more likely to get aspirated into the right lung as the right bronchus is wider, shoer and more veical than the left principal bronchus. The greater width and the more veical angulation of the right principal bronchus explain why foreign bodies enter it more commonly that the left.
