Does the Right lung hold more oxygen?

I would think so. The right lung has three lobes and is larger than the two-lobed left lung, which must make room for the heart. Also, females are generally smaller than males, so their lung capacity is about 20% less, and..believe it or not..taller people generally have longer lungs, so they have more capacity than short people!

How does a small lung capacity affect life?

Having a small lung capacity can affect your every day life, but usally without any harmfull or negative side affects. Usally people with a smaller lung capacity will naturally have a higher heart rate, this is due to the lack of oxygen you get from each breath needed for your mitocondria to produce ATP. Long distance runners may actually benifit from a smaller lung capacity, because of the shorter quciker breaths keep a consistant flow of oxygen running through out the body. One draw back to this condition is that you will be able to hold your breath not nearly as long as someone who has a greater lung capacity. -j_2112


Why is the right lung is taller than the left lung?

No, this is wrong. The left is taller, because the right is bulged by the diaphragm due to the presence of liver.
