Answer 1

Ans :-

Right lung is shorter than the left lung because of the liver, that is situated just beneath the right lung and it has three lobes.

Left lung is narrower because of the heart bulging to the left lung and it has two lobes.

Lobes are separated by diagonal sloping fissures ( double folds of pleura that divide the lung into lobes).

Mostly upper and middle lobes.

Anteriorly, the apex of each lung rises approximately 1- 2 cm above the inner third of the clavicle.

The lower border of lung crosses the 6-7 rib at the mid calvicular line.
