    Study Notes

    Lung Structure and Thoracic Cage

    • The surfaces and fissures of the lung are lined with the pleura.
    • The thoracic inlet, also known as the thoracic aperture, is the narrow inlet of the thoracic cage.
    • The right lung is divided into three lobes: superior, middle, and inferior.
    • The lobes of the right lung are divided by the oblique and horizontal fissures.

    Thoracic Cage and Cavity

    • The thoracic cage is composed of the sternum, ribs, and thoracic vertebrae.
    • The thoracic cavity contains the lung and its pleura on each side.

    Lung Anatomy

    • The apex of the lung is located approximately 1 inch below the medial third of the clavicle.

    Cortisol and Exercise

    • Cortisol promotes the breakdown of tissue protein to form glucose during exercise. (True)
    • Cortisol does not stimulate the storage of glucose in tissues during exercise. (False)
    • Cortisol stimulates the mobilization of free fatty acids from adipose tissue during exercise. (True)
    • Cortisol does not inhibit gluconeogenesis in the liver during exercise. (False)
