There are two lungs simply called the left and right lungs. These large structures take up most of the Thoracic Cavity which changes tize in order to pull air in or push it out of the lung. The right lung has three Lobes (parts that sit on top of each other) While the left lung has only 2. This is because the left ventricle of the heart sits over to the left and takes up some of the space the left lung would otherwise inhabit. The left lung has a curved gap for the heart called the Cardiac Notch.
