The respiratory system in a pig uses bronchial tubes leading to the lungs, which means that the air takes a little longer to get to the lungs. The extra lobes hold extra oxygen so that the pig isn't deprived oxygen.

How do the seven lobes of the cat lung compare with humans?

A cat has 7 lobes of the lung. The right side has 3; the right apical, right cardiac, and right diaphragmatic. The left also has 3; the left apical, left cardiac, and left diaphragmatic. There is one lobe directly in between both sides called the intermediate lobe.


Why does a fetal pig have four lobes in the right lung and three lobes in the left lung?

The disparity in lobes is due to the asymmetrical positioning of organs in the fetal pig’s body. The right lung has four lobes because it is larger and makes space for the heart. The left lung has three lobes to accommodate the position of the heart.


Why does the pig have more liver lobes than a human?

Pigs have more liver lobes than humans primarily due to differences in anatomy and physiology related to their dietary needs and metabolic processes. The additional lobes allow for increased surface area and enhanced liver function, which is crucial for processing a varied diet as omnivores. This anatomical adaptation supports their role in detoxifying substances and storing nutrients more efficiently compared to humans.


What part of the snake's lung is used for breathing?

The snake's lung which is responsible for their breathing is called the "Vestigial lung."


Compare the structure of the human liver with that of the cat?

The components of the liver of a human and the liver of a cat are very similar although a cats liver is more pure and clean than a humans from all the ingestion that a human does compared to a cat.

How many parts make up each lung?

Each lung has more than one "lobe" or section. The right lung has three, and the left lung has only two to leave room for the heart where the upper left lobe would be.


Is the right or left lung larger?

The right lung is larger than left lung The left lung is made up of 2 lobes while right is made up of 3 lobes.


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


Contrast left lung and right lung?

The left lung is slightly smaller than the right lung because 2/3 of the heart is located there. The left lung contains the cardiac notch, an indentation in the lung that surrounds the apex (pointed end) of the heart. The smaller left lung only has 2 lobes, the superior and inferior.


Does the Right lung hold more oxygen?

I would think so. The right lung has three lobes and is larger than the two-lobed left lung, which must make room for the heart. Also, females are generally smaller than males, so their lung capacity is about 20% less, and..believe it or not..taller people generally have longer lungs, so they have more capacity than short people!


Are the 2 lungs the same?

The left lung only has 2 lobes (superior and inferior) because the heart takes up much of the space allowed on the left side. The right lung; however, has 3 lobes (Superior, Middle, and Inferior). Yes. The left lung is a little less voluminous than the right lung. It has two lobes, whereas the right lung has three. Its volume is displaced a bit more, by the location of the heart, than the right lung.
