Which lung is bigger--your right or your left?

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).

Its volume is displaced a bit more, by the location of the heart, than the right lung.

How do you trace the path from the femoral Vein to the lower lobe of the right lung?

From the Femoral vein, you would go to the inferior vena cava, which then leads to the right atrium of the heart. From there, you'd go tothe right AV valve to the right ventricle and then to the pulmonary SL valve. Then, you'd go to the pulmonary artery and then the lungs. Once in the lumgs, go to the lower lobe of the right lung. There are three lobes within the rght lung, unlike the left lung, wich has two. The three lobes are the Superior lobe, at the top, the Middle lobe, in the middle, and lastly, the Inferior lobe at the bottom.

How many lobes do the right and left lung have?

The right lung contains three lobes. The left lobe only has two. Because of the heart on the left side, the left lung only has two lobes to make more room for the heart to pump on that side.
