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 left hilum houses just one bronchus, while the right hilum contains two. This is similar to the way your lungs are divided, with your left lung divided into two lobes and your right lung divided into three.
Detailed explanation-3: -The left lung consists of two lobes: the left upper lobe (LUL) and the left lower lobe (LLL).
