The left is smaller, due to the presence of cardiac notch
your left lung is slightly smaller then your right lung. So your right lung is a little bigger then your left lung.
Because the heart takes up space behind the left lung
the smaller lung is sunset 74% and the lungs are smaller than the larger one.
The left lung is smaller than the right.
It is larger than the left lung because the left lung is smaller to make room for the heart.
to accommodate the heart
The left lung is smaller than the right lung because your heart is on the left side of your body and so takes up some of the room.
It doesn't, your left lung is a bit smaller than the right one because of the heart's position.
Your left lung is smaller. The right lung has three lobes: superior, middle and inferior. The left lung has only two lobes: the superior and inferior. The heart takes up the space that would have otherwise been used for a middle lobe on the left lung.
The heart is (mostly) on the left side and takes up some space.
The left lung is slightly smaller than the right lung because 2/3 of the heart is located there. The left lung contains the cardiac notch, an indentation in the lung that surrounds the apex (pointed end) of the heart. The smaller left lung only has 2 lobes, the superior and inferior.
It has two lobes compared to three on the right.
the left lung is smaller to make room for the heart.. the right lung has 3 lobes and the left lung only has 2 lobes..
The left lung only has 2 lobes (superior and inferior) because the heart takes up much of the space allowed on the left side. The right lung; however, has 3 lobes (Superior, Middle, and Inferior). Yes. The left lung is a little less voluminous than the right lung. It has two lobes, whereas the right lung has three. Its volume is displaced a bit more, by the location of the heart, than the right lung.
The Left lung is smaller and has only two lobes, but the right lung is bigger and has three lobes also has less room because youe heart is located on your left side so thats why it is smaller and lighter.
