Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The right lung consists of three lobes: the right upper lobe (RUL), the right middle lobe (RML), and the right lower lobe (RLL).

Detailed explanation-2: -The transverse fissure overlies the fourth rib to meet the oblique fissure at the level of the mid axillary line. The presence of the transverse fissure results in three lobes on the right lung while the left lung presents two lobes.

Detailed explanation-3: -You have two lungs, the left lung and the right lung. The left lung is slightly smaller and has a notch to give room for the heart. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -The lungs are the major organs of the respiratory system, and are divided into sections, or lobes. The right lung has three lobes and is slightly larger than the left lung, which has two lobes. The lungs are separated by the mediastinum. This area contains the heart, trachea, esophagus, and many lymph nodes.
