Question
Chapter 23.2, Problem 18AYP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The number of lobes present in the left and right lung and the reason for the difference in the number of lobes.
Introduction:
Humans have two lungs, a left lung and a right lung located within the thoracic cavity. Lungs play an important role in the process of respiration.
