Parietal pleura in a cadaver: E and f, 5 weeks; Right and left lungare separated by mediastinum.
Lungs are the vital organ of the respiratory system.
The lungs are divided into lobes by fissures on the outer surface of the lung, and divide further into segments and finally into hexagonal lobules, the smallest divisions of the lungs. Fissures and lobes of the lungs.—the left lung is divided into two lobes, an upper and a lower, by an interlobular fissure, which extends from the costal to the mediastinal surface of the the serous coat is the pulmonary pleura (page 1090); Pleura reaches further down than the lungs to 12 costal cartilage. A thin layer of fluid acts as a lubricant allowing the lungs to slip smoothly as they expand and contract with each breath.
