Study Notes

Fissures and Lobes of the Lungs

The right lung has four fissures and lobes: Upper, Middle, Lower, and a smaller one near the apex
The left lung has two fissures and lobes: Upper and Lower

Grooves of the Lungs

The lung has several grooves for major blood vessels and airways
The right lung has a groove for the superior vena cava (SVC)
The left lung has a groove for the pulmonary artery
Both lungs have a groove for the phrenic nerve and vagus nerve
The oesophageal groove is a narrow, vertical groove descending downwards

Hilum of the Lung

The hilum is the area where the major blood vessels, bronchi, and nerves enter the lung
The right lung has a shorter and more horizontal hilum than the left lung
The hilum contains the following structures:
Principal bronchus
Pulmonary artery
Superior and inferior pulmonary veins
Phrenic nerve and vagus nerve

Root of the Lung

The root of the lung refers to the area where the major blood vessels and bronchi enter the lung
The root contains the principal bronchus, pulmonary artery, and pulmonary veins

Surface Anatomy of the Lung

The lung has an apex, base, and three borders: anterior, posterior, and inferior
