The faces that are studied to the lung are, EXCEPT:
A
Costal
B
diaphragmatic
C
Mediastinica
D
sternal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Since the heart tilts to the left, the left lung is smaller than the right and has an indentation called the cardiac impression to accommodate the heart. This indentation shapes the inferior and anterior parts of the superior lobe into a thin tongue-like process called the lingual.

Detailed explanation-2: -The three surfaces of the lung include the costal, medial, and diaphragmatic surfaces. The costal surface is covered by the costal pleura and is along the sternum and ribs. It also joins the medial surface at the anterior and posterior borders and diaphragmatic surfaces at the inferior border.
