The right pulmonary artery or right branch of the pulmonary artery longer and larger than the left runs horizontally to the right behind the ascending aorta and superior vena cava and in front of the right bronchus to the root of the right lung where it divides into two branches. The lower and larger of these goes to the middle and lower lobes of the lung; the upper and smaller is distributed to the upper lobe.
