When an older adult inhales a foreign body,the inhaled object is likely to be drawn into the right bronchus rather than the left bronchus because the RIGHT BRONCHUS IS SHORTER AND WIDER than the left bronchus.

The left bronchus is longer and narrower,so when a foreign body reaches the bronchial tree,it easily goes into the right bronchus because of its short and wide structure.
