The lungs extend from just above the collarbone (clavicle) down to about the diaphragm, which sits at the level of the sixth rib anteriorly. The right lung is slightly larger and has three lobes, while the left lung has two lobes to accommodate the heart. The apex of each lung reaches into the thoracic cavity, while the base rests on the diaphragm. Overall, the lungs occupy a significant portion of the chest cavity.
