The Heart
Right ventricle
the left lung is narrower than the right lung because of the amount of space the mediastinum (which includes the heart, blood vessels and others) on the left side. the left lung includes a cardiac notch where the heart lies.
what does a heart-lung machine do for caval-pulmonary artey anastomosis
