Chapter 23, Problem 9CP
Summary Introduction
To review:
The location of the lungs and differentiate between the parietal pleura and the visceral pleura.
Introduction:
Lungs are the cone-shaped primary organ of the respiratory system, where the exchange of gases occurs. A pulmonologist is a specialist in treating and diagnosing the lung diseases.
