How many boarders does the lung have?
3 (margins)
Anterior, Posterior , Inferior
How many surfaces does the lung have?
3
costal (anterolateral)
inferior (diaphragmatic = base)
medial (mediastinal)
which surface of lung is the hilum found
medial - mediastinal
a.
apex
b
anterior boarder
c
posterior boarder
d
medial surface/mediastinal
e
BASE
f
diaphragmatic surface
h
costal surface
i and j
i. Cardiac notch
j. lingula
k
inferior boarder
what does the left lung pocess which the right lung does not
Cardiac notch
Lingula
Cardiac and aortic impression -> medial surface – aortic arch, thoracic aorta, oesophagus
2 lobes – 1 oblique fissure
ABV – root of hilum (pulmonary artery is the most superior
Smaller, longer/narrower
Root of hilum ABV
what does the right lung pocess that the left doesnt
3 lobes – 2 fissures
Main bronchi split into two branches at the root (before entering lung)
Superior – eparterial
Inferior – hyparterial
Shorter but wider – position of the liver
Arrangement of root of hilum (Artery not as superior), superior bronchi.
a.
a. grooe for right brachiocephalic vein
b
b. groove for SVC
c
Azygos vein
d
d. Cardiac impression
e
IVC
g
oesophagus
h, f
h. left brachiocephalic vein
f: subclavian artery (left/right)
i, j, k,
i. aortic arch
j . cardiac impression
k . descending aorta
what is the hilum
the area on the medial surface of the lung through which structures enter or leave the lung
what is the root of the lung
The structures which enter and leave the lung at the hilum are known collectively as the root of the lung.
