anterior to tracheal cartilages 2-4
where is parietal pleura of the lung found
on the thoracic wall
where is the visceral pleura

how many bronchopulmonary segments does each lung have
10
how many ribs does a person have, how many true, false, floating
12 pairs = 24.
true =1- 7, false = 8-10, floating = 11-12
