PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The left lung consists of two lobes: the left upper lobe (LUL) and the left lower lobe (LLL). The right lobe is divided by an oblique and horizontal fissure, where the horizontal fissure divides the upper and middle lobe, and the oblique fissure divides the middle and lower lobes.

Detailed explanation-3: -There is also a structural advantage to having the lungs be separate, the main one being that the bronchial tubes bifurcate naturally, and that there is a place for the heart and other “indivisible” organs in the middle. Separation also decreases the chance of problems or disease in one spreading to the other.

Detailed explanation-4: -The left lung (left) and right lung (right). The lobes of the lungs can be seen, and the central root of the lung is also present.
