Bronchial sounds (also called tubular sounds) normally arise from the tracheobronchial tree. - They are heard as loud, harsh and high pitched sounds over the right apex. - Vesicular sounds normally arise from the finer lung parenchyma. - They are heard during expiration. Vesicular breath sounds are soft, low pitched, predominantly inspiratory, and appreciated especially well at the posterior lung bases. 2) What is CT scan?
