Lung Definition
The lungs are made of a light and soft elastic tissue.
Structure of Lung
The right lung is larger than the left one and is comprised
of the 3 lobes including the superior, middle, and inferior.
Right Lung Lobes
Superior lobe
Middle lobe
Inferior lobe
The left lung only has 2 lobes, which are the superior and
inferior.
Left Lung Lobes
Superior lobe
Inferior lobe
Function of Lungs or How Dose a Lung Work
Fissures help separate the lobes and each lung has an
oblique fissure which divides the upper and lower lobes of the left lung and
the middle and lower lobes of the right lung.
The right lung also has a horizontal fissure which separates
the superior and the middle lobes.
Each lung also has 3 surfaces: the costal, the mediastinal,
and the diaphragmatic, which are named after the adjacent anatomical structure
which that surface faces.
The mediastinal surface connects the lungs to the
mediastinum via its root.
The root of the lung contains the mainstem or lobar bronchi,
the pulmonary vessels and bronchi, as well as the bronchiole vessels,
lymphatics and autonomic nerves.
The respiratory airways and the lungs are lined with
respiratory epithelium.
The path of respiration for clarification
Once the air enters the larynx, it is purely within the
respiratory organs.
It continues down the larynx and into the trachea which
bifurcates into the left and right main bronchi and then further in a tree
branch-like pattern into bronchioles.
The bronchioles further divide into smaller and smaller
respiratory bronchioles whose terminal branches contain grape-like bunches of
alveolar ducts, sacs and the terminal alveoli.
It is here that the oxygen in the air cells diffuses into the
blood.
The opposite occurs for the carbon dioxide when it attempts
to leave the hemoglobin molecules in the erythrocytes and travel back out of
the body via exhalation.
