The Left lung is divided into two lobes, an upper and a lower, by the oblique fissure, which extends from the coastal to the mediastinal surface of the lung both above and below the hilus. It lies above and in front of this fissure, and includes the apex, the anterior border, and a considerable part of the coastal surface and the greater part of the mediastinal surface of the lung.

How do separate the right and left pulmonary segment?

This is probably what u are looking for but however there is a longer explanation to this which i believe u can get in another place and i wont be typing it here.The Left Lung1. It is slender and divided into superior (upper) and inferior (lower) lobes by a long deep oblique fissurewhich extends from its coastal to medial surface.2. The superior lobe has a large cardiac notch on its anterior border.3. The anteroinferior part of the superior lobe has a small tongue-like projection called the lingula.4. The inferior lobe of the left lung is larger than the superior lobe and lies inferoposterior to the oblique fissure.The Right Lung1. The right lung is shorter and wider than the left lung, because the right dome of the diaphragm is higher and the heart and pericardium bulge more to the left.2. It is divided into superior (upper), middle, and inferior (lower) lobes by horizontal and oblique fissures.3. The horizontal fissure separates the superior and middle lobes.4. The oblique fissure separates the inferior lobefrom the superior and middle lobes.5. The superior lobe is smaller than in the left lung, and the middle lobe is wedge-shaped.6. The anterior margin of the right lung is straight, whereas the margin of the left lung has a deep cardiac notch.
