Elasticity
Lungs recoil to 1/3 of uncollapsed size when thoracic cavity opens
Lobes in Lungs
Right Lung: 3 Lobes
Left Lung: 2 Lobes
Fissures in Left Lung
Oblique
Fissures in Right Lung
Oblique and Horizontal
What plura follows these fissures

What covers the apex of the lung
Cervical Pleura
What does the root of the lung refer to?
Structures contained in pulmonary Sleeve and enter hilium of lung

Elasticity
Lungs recoil to 1/3 of uncollapsed size when thoracic cavity opens

medistinal plura passes laterally as a double layer to esophagus to lung
Structures in Root of the lung
Artery: Superior
Bronchus: Posterior
