Why is the left lung smaller than the right lung?
Correct answer: Because the heart is near the left lung consuming space

The right lung has 3 lobes, the left only has 2

There are two bronchial segments in the true left upper lobe; two segments in the lingula, which is part of the left upper lobe. The left lower lobe has four bronchial segments. This is the common anatomy of the left lung, although anatomical variants are not entirely uncommon.

The left lung only has two lobes and the right lung has three lobes !! The left lung really got burned !! No wonder we develop breathing problems so easily !! What a rip !! I think the left lung should sue !!

I grew up a second hand smoker. I’ve never had the slightest urge to try it.
