since your right lung has three lobes and your left lung has two. The lobes on both sides of your lungs are separated by fissures. The oblique fissure separates the largest lobe, the left upper lobe, or superior lobe, from the one below it....
The frontal lobe is the largest lobe of the brain and is located at the front of each hemisphere. In total, the frontal lobe makes up about one-third of the human brain. It has many important functions that are imperative in a functioning neurological system. ...
The thoracic cavity is divided into three main regions:(1) the right pleural cavity, (2) the left pleural cavity (the pleural cavities contain the lungs), and (3) the mediastinum, a midline structure that separates the right and left pleural cavities. How many organs are in the thoracic c...
so the concept has changed from motor neuron disease to “motor neuron network disease.” In the past, it was thought that ALS selectively affects motor neurons, but it is now known that the disease occurs in combination with other degenerative diseases in the brain. ...
Methods: Bilateral native lung - sparing lobar transplantation was performed in 12 pairs of dogs. In donor animals the right middle, lower, and cardiac lobes were separated as a right graft, and the left lower lobe was separated as a left graft. In recipient animals these 2 grafts were ...
