Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The oblique and horizontal fissure divides the lungs into superior, middle and inferior lobes. Thus the right lung has three lobes while the left has two. Each lobe is supplied by a lobar bronchus. The lobes are subdivided by bronchopulmonary segments which are supplied by the segmental bronchi.
Detailed explanation-2: -The left lung is smaller because of the space taken up by the heart (see diaphragm for an image of this). Each lung is separated into lobes branching off the main bronchus; the right lung has three lobes, while the left has only two lobes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Right superior lobe. Right middle lobe. Right inferior lobe. Hilum of right lung.
