Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The right lung has a deeper basal concavity when compared to the left lung, and is, therefore, shorter than its counterpart. This is because the right hemidiaphragm is slightly higher than the left hemidiaphragm in order to accommodate the liver on the right-hand side.
Detailed explanation-2: -The diaphragm, located below the lungs, is the major muscle of respiration. It is a large, dome-shaped muscle that contracts rhythmically and continually, and most of the time, involuntarily. Upon inhalation, the diaphragm contracts and flattens and the chest cavity enlarges.
