Lungs M a j or org a ns of resp i rat i on L o c ate d i n c hest , e i ther s i de of med i ast i num O xygenate blood : Achieve this by bringing inspired air into close contact with oxygen-poor blood in pulmonary capillaries Anatomical Position and Relations L i e e i ther s i de of med i a s t inum , w i t h i n thorac i c ca v i ty Each lung is surrounded by a pleural ca v i t y , formed b y v i scera l & par i et a l pleur a . Suspended from mediastinum by l ung root – a c ollec t i on of structures entering & leaving lungs
Lungs Conti… M edial surfaces of both lungs lie in close proximity to se v eral med i a s t ina l str u ctures: Lung Structure L ungs are roughly cone shaped , with an apex, base, 3 s u rfaces & 3 b o rde r s L eft lung is slightly smaller than right – this is due to presence of heart

Borders of the lung A nterior border: formed by convergence of med i ast i nal & c ostal surfac e s On left lung , anterior border is marked by a deep notch, created by apex of heart ( cardiac notch) Inferior border separates base of lung from costal & med i ast i nal surfac e s Posterior border is smooth & rounded (in contrast to anterior & inferior borders, which are sharp) . F ormed b y costal & med i ast i nal surfac e s meeting posteriorly

Vasculature of lungs Supplied with deoxygenated blood by the paired pulmon a ry arter i es Once the blood has received oxygenation , it leaves the lungs via four pulmonary veins (two for each lung) B ronchi , lung roots, visceral pleura & supporting lung tissues require an extra nutritive blood supply Del i v ered b y b r onchi al arter i es , wh i ch ar i s e from descending aorta B r o nch i al v e i ns pr o v i de v enous drainage R i ght br o nch i al v e i n dra i ns i nto the azyg os v e i n , left dra i ns i nto a c c e s s ory hem i azyg os v e i n
