MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -You have two lungs, one on each side of your chest, which is also called the thorax. Your thorax is the area of your body between your neck and your abdomen.

Detailed explanation-2: -The left lung is smaller because of the space taken up by the heart (see diaphragm for an image of this). Each lung is separated into lobes branching off the main bronchus; the right lung has three lobes, while the left has only two lobes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each lung is divided into lobes-the left lung has two and the right lung has three-which are similar to balloons filled with sponge-like tissue. Each lobe receives air from its own branch of the bronchial tree, but they all have the same function: bringing oxygen into the bloodstream and removing carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-4: -Right superior lobe. Right middle lobe. Right inferior lobe. Hilum of right lung.
