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.
Horizontal fissure of the right lung and Oblique fissure of right lung.
Yeah it has an oblique and horizontal fissure
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.

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.
yes.
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
no they both do the same thing pump oxygen into your bloodstream
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.

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
