Lungs don't have the same amount of lobes because they are just like the rest of our body. One arm is longer, one foot is bigger, etc. Each lung has various amounts of lobes.

What is the difference between human lungs and animals lungs?

Bird lungs have the same basic features as human lungs, such as a trachea, bronchi, lungs and capillaries etc, however birds' lungs operate in a cycling of air manner rather than a mixing action as in humans. Human lungs move air into alveoli at the extremities of the lungs and because it would require immense force to reopen a completely deflated alveoli and therefore they are never fully emptied and maintain "dead space". This means that when fresh air is moved in, there is mixing of fresh and dead space air. Birds on the other hand have a linear cycling of air meaning that the maximum amount of oxygen can reach the capillaries and pass into the blood stream. Hence bird respiration is more effective than human's, but in a way it needs to be due to the decreased size and intense need for efficiency during flight etc.

Are unattached ear lobes better for stretching?

All lobes will stretch the same way. Its just that at larger sizes(1 inch +), attached lobes kinda tilt a little bit. I personally don't like that but hey, to each their own.


Are the 2 lungs the same?

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 density of air decreases with altitude, so the ratio of oxygen in the air stays the same, but the amount of gases in your lungs decrease.


What is the largest vein in your circulatory system?

The one going TO the heart from the body probably. I think the pulmonary vein which goes to the heart from the lungs at the heart is probably the same size due to the amount of blood that flows to the heart.
