Explore the paired lungs as an interactive 3D specimen — lobes, bronchi, and pleural surfaces labeled with clickable hotspots and clinical notes by Aurelia RMT.
Labeled Hotspots
Right Lung Lobes — Three lobes (upper, middle, lower) separated by the horizontal and oblique fissures; slightly larger than the left lung due to the cardiac notch
Left Lung Lobes — Two lobes (upper and lower) separated by the oblique fissure; contains the lingula adjacent to the cardiac notch
Bronchi — Primary (main-stem) bronchi branch from the trachea; right main bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical — foreign bodies more commonly lodge here
Pleura — Visceral pleura covers the lung surface; parietal pleura lines the thoracic cavity; the pleural space between them contains lubricating fluid
Pulmonary Vessels — Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right heart; pulmonary veins return oxygenated blood to the left atrium
