The function of the horizontal fissure of the left lung helps the constipated human to release any excess carbon from their body, meaning it is easier for them to defecate. Although in some cases of severe diarrhoea the mantelpiece of the left lung collapses into the pancreas distorting and disturbing the function of the horizontal fissure.
What else can I help you with?
What are the two fissures of the right lung that divide it into a superior middle and inferior lobe respectively?
Horizontal fissure of the right lung and Oblique fissure of right lung.
Does the right lung have an oblique fissure?
Yeah it has an oblique and horizontal fissure
What separates each lobe of the lungs?
Each lung is divided into lobes by fissures. The right lung has three lobes separated by two fissures (horizontal and oblique), while the left lung has two lobes separated by one oblique fissure.
What is the difference from the right lung and the left lung?
in humans Right lung Left lung Heavier Lighter Shorter & wider due to upward compression by liver Longer & narrower due to side compression by heart Has oblique & horizontal (transverse) fissure Only has oblique fissure Three lobes: upper, middle, and lower Two lobes: upper and lower Base more concave by liver compression Base less concave Hilum: 2bronchi, 2pulmonary arteries, and 2 pulmonary veins Hilum: one bronchus, 2pulmonary arteries, and 2 pulmonary veins
Where is scalene fissure located?
The scalene fissure is located in the lateral aspect of the lung. It separates the lower lobe from the middle lobe in the right lung.
Can you function with only one left LUNG lobe?
yes.
What is different about your left lung and your right lung?
There is no middle lobe on the left lung and the right lung is shorter than the left lung.Differences between Left & Right LungsRight LungLeft LungHeavier (625 gram)Lighter 565 (gram)Shorter & wider due to upwardcompression by liverLonger & narrower due to sidecompression by heartHas oblique & horizontal fissureHas only horizontal fissureConsists of 3 lobes: Upper,middle & lowerConsists of 2 lobes: upper &lowerBase more concave by livercompressionBase less concaveAnterior border is completeAnterior border showsCardiac notchLingual (at 6th costal cartilage)Hilum contains two bronchi:EparterialHyparterialHilum contains one bronchusonlyHilum contains one bronchialartery onlyHilum contains two bronchialarterieshttp://www.scribd.com/doc/28759512/Differences-Between-Left-amp-Right-LungsRight lungLeft lungHeavierLighterShorter & wider due to upward compression by liverLonger & narrower due to side compression by heartHas oblique & horizontal (transverse) fissureOnly has oblique fissureThree lobes: upper, middle, and lowerTwo lobes: upper and lowerBase more concave by liver compressionBase less concaveHilum: 2bronchi, 2pulmonary arteries, and 2 pulmonary veinsHilum: one bronchus, 2pulmonary arteries, and 2 pulmonary veins
Is there a difference between the function of the Right lung and the left lung?
no they both do the same thing pump oxygen into your bloodstream
How many chambers does a cat have and how many chambers do humans have?
We really don't use the term chambers for lungs. We use the term lobes. Each lung consists of several distinct lobes. The right lung (the larger of the two) has 3 lobes - the superior, middle, and inferior lobes. The horizontal fissure separates the superior lobe from the middle lobe, while the right oblique fissure separates the middle and inferior lobes. The smaller left lung only has 2 lobes - superior and inferior - separated by the left oblique fissure. There are about 300 million alveoli in each of your lungs. These tiny air sacs provide an ideal site for the diffusion of gases into and out of the blood - also known as gaseous exchange.
4 At what vertebra do the lung lobes separate posteriorly oblique fissure?
T4
Why are the right and left lungs not identical?
The right lung is shorter than the left by 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) however, the total capacity of the right lung is greater than the left. The right lung has three lobes, the left lung has two. If you need to know the "why" then its simply in the human genetics that your lungs will never be identical unless you suffer from a mutation of the genes
What is the function of the left pulmonary vein?
To return blood from the inferior lobe of the right lung to the left atrium Sierra Q
