NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Your left lung is smaller than the right because your heart is where the middle lobe on your left lung would be. Your left lung has two parts that your right lung doesn’t have: the cardiac notch (where your heart fits) and the lingula, an extension of the superior lobe.

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: -Your mediastinum is a space in your chest that holds your heart and other important structures. It’s the middle section of your thoracic cavity, between your left and right pleural cavities (which hold your lungs).

Detailed explanation-4: -The trachea branches into two smaller airways: the left and right mainstem [or main] bronchi. Each lung is divided into sections (lobes): three in the right lung and two in the left lung. The left lung is a little smaller than the right lung because it shares space in the left side of the chest with the heart.
