Add specific bronchopulmonary segments

[jychien]

Currently curating a dataset for HCA lung for CELLxGENE, and Gloria Pryhuber and her team have assigned their samples to the specific bronchopulmonary segment of the lung. We did not see the lung ontologized at this level of granularity and was hoping to have it added as below:

Preferred term label:

• Right lobe:
  • upper lobe of right lung (UBERON:0002170):
    • right apical bronchopulmonary segment
    • right posterior bronchopulmonary segment
    • right anterior bronchopulmonary segment
  • middle lobe of right lung (UBERON:0002174):
    • right lateral bronchopulmonary segment
    • right medial bronchopulmonary segment
  • lower lobe of right lung (UBERON:0002171):
    • right superior bronchopulmonary segment
    • right medial basal bronchopulmonary segment
    • right anterior basal bronchopulmonary segment
    • right lateral basal bronchopulmonary segment
    • right posterior basal bronchopulmonary segment
• Left lobe:
  • upper lobe of left lung (UBERON:0008952):
    • left apical-posterior bronchopulmonary segment
      • left apical bronchopulmonary segment
      • left posterior bronchopulmonary segment
    • left anterior bronchopulmonary segment
    • left superior lingular bronchopulmonary segment
    • left inferior lingular bronchopulmonary segment
  • lower lobe of left lung (UBERON:0008953):
    • left superior bronchopulmonary segment
    • left antero-medial basal bronchopulmonary segment
      • left medial basal bronchopulmonary segment
      • left anterior basal bronchopulmonary segment
    • left lateral basal bronchopulmonary segment
    • left posterior basal bronchopulmonary segment

Synonyms

Definition
The segment of the lung that is supplied by the tertiary bronchus of the same name.
There are a number of diagrams online, but here are a few publications/resources with images:

Parent term

• "bronchopulmonary segment" (UBERON:8600017)
• Also have lobe as parent, as listed above

I agree and thank you for this addition.
Further detail: The identification of bronchopulmonary segments has particular use in radiology and thoracic surgery. Each segment typically has its own pulmonary arterial branch and thus, each bronchopulmonary segment is a portion of lung supplied by its own bronchus and artery. Each segment is functionally and anatomically discrete allowing a single segment to be surgically resected without affecting its neighboring segments. Infection may also tend to be restricted to a segment by the connective tissue dividing the segments.
