Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The lungs are found in the chest on the right and left side. At the front they extend from just above the collarbone (clavicle) at the top of the chest to about the sixth rib down. At the back of the chest the lungs finish around the tenth rib.
Detailed explanation-2: -During quiet respiration, the inferior margin of the lung crosses rib 6 in the midclavicular line, rib 8 in the midaxillary line, and then courses somewhat horizontally to reach the vertebral column at vertebral level T10.
