The Lungs, roughly conical in shape, occupy the thoracic cavity, being separated from one another by the mediastinum. The right lung is broader, shorter, and slightly larger than the left. The apex projects into the root of the neck, corresponding posteriorly to the spine of the seventh cervi...

The Thoracic cavity contains the principal organs of respiration– the lungs, which are separated from each other by bulky and movable median septum – the mediastinum. The principal structures in the mediastinum areheart and great vessels.
For example, if the chest wall is punctured on one side, causing the lung on that side to collapse, the other lung remains inflated and functioning, because the two lungs are separated by the mediastinum. Locating the Mediastinum A bony cage (commonly called the rib cage), whic...
In humans the two lungs lie within the chest, separated by the heart and mediastinum. The right lung has three lobes and the left lung two. A bronchus, an artery, and a vein enter each lung medially at the hilum; each branches again and again as it enters the lobules and smaller div...
To describe the ultrasonographic appearance of the lungs, pleura, and mediastinum of cattle.Transcutaneous ultrasonography of the lungs and pleura was performed on the right and left sides of the thorax. The mediastinum was examined transesophageally.50 healthy cows.The thoracic wall, pleura, and pul...

are separated by the mediastinum. The pleurae consist of two layers. The visceral pleura is the layer that is superficial to the lungs, and extends into and lines the lung fissures. In contrast, the parietal pleura is the outer layer that connects to the thoracic wall, the mediastinum, and...
The right and left primary bronchi are separated by an internal ridge called the carina. The right primary bronchus is larger in diameter than the left, and descends at a steeper angle. V. The Lungs, p. 824 Gross Anatomy of the Lungs The left and right lungs are in the left and...
