Lung Answers [Back]

This is the left lung, and since the head is to the left, A is the cranial lobe and B is the caudal lobe. Remember, the heart is slightly to the left (that is why it is easier to put your right hand over your heart), so the left lung has less room in the thorax and is smaller.

Obviously, this must be the right lung, which orients the head to the right. The right lung consists of a cranial lobe (C), a middle lobe (D), a caudal lobe (E) and an accessory lobe (F).
