What is the physical appearance of the lungs?

"Gross anatomy" means the anatomy visible without the use of a microscope. The lungs are a pair of sac-like, pinkish organs that sit above the diaphragm. Each lung is covered in a network of capillaries that allow the gas exchange (oxygen into the blood, carbon dioxide out) with the blood. The capillaries attach to the pulmonary arteries which go to the heart. The left and right lungs sit on either side of the vertebral column and heart.

Is rectus abdominis a muscle of inspiration?

Actually, no. The rectus abdominis is a muscle that helps with the digestion of food, helps to hold organs in one place and gives you the "6 pack" feature when doing sit ups. There are two other muscles on the ribs that help the lungs with inspiration. They are the Intercostalis muscles. One is on the ribs themselves and one is on the gaps between the ribs. They move the ribs in and out with the lungs with every inspiration and expiration. Hope this helps!
