The right bronchus is a passage leading from the trachea/windpipe into the right lung. When objects are aspirated, they are more likely to end up in the right bronchus than the left because its angle at the carina (the point where the trachea divides into a left and right bronchus) is more vertical/leads more straight down
The function of the left bronchus, similar to that of the right, is to allow the passage of air to and from the lungs and trachea/windpipe.
The only difference between the two bronchi is that the angle of the right bronchus at the carina (point of bifurcation) is straight while the left one is more angled. This is why in case someone aspirates something, it is almost always found lodged in the right bronchus instead of the left (despite sharing a common passageway/trachea).
Right or Left main stem bronchus is for the carina and this is a bifurcation that sends air to both lungs.

Primary Bronchus
The right primary bronchus is slightly wider and at a steeper angle than the left primary bronchus. This is due mostly to the fact that the heart occupies a larger portion of the left lung than the right. This makes the right lung bigger so it needs a wider bronchus for air to fill it up. Plus since the heart is a bit more to the left, the left bronchus branches off at more of an angle. The combination of these two factors makes the right bronchus more susceptible to obstructions if a foreign object travels down the trachea leading the bronchus.
Allow air to pass from trachea to lungs
The treachae divides into the primary bronchi. Then the primary bronchi divides into secondary bronchus, which then divides into tertiary bronchi.
Primary Function means What that curt-in thing you talking about does or whats its purpose
The function is to transport air to the rest of the body.
A primary bronchus is the first branch off the trachea, further branching leads to the secondary bronchus and then tertiary as you get deeper into the lung.
The primary bronchus that is the more likely site for an inspired object to become lodged is the right bronchus. It has a straighter alignment compared to the left bronchus.

The trachea branches off into the primary bronchus , secondary bronchus etc all the way to the alveoli.The primary bronchus is the first extension of the trachea to enter the lungs.
The function of cartilage in the bronchus is to hold the soft tissue open so that air may pass through. The cartilage in the bronchus are C-shaped rings.

The right primary bronchus is larger in diameter.
