The Lungs are the two principal organs of respiration,placed one on each side of the chest, separated from eachother by the heart and other contents of the lung is divided into two lobes, an upper and lower, by along and deep fissure, which extends from the upper part ofthe posterior border of the organ, about three inches from itsapex, downward and forward to the lower part of the ante-rior border. This fissure penetrates nearly to the root. Inthe right lung the upper lobe is partially subdivided by asecond and shorter fissure, which extends from the middle ofthe preceding, forward and slightly upward to the anteriormargin, making a small triangular portion, the middle lobe. The right lung is larger and heavier than the left; it isbroader, owing to the inclination of the heart to the left side;in consequence of the diaphragm rising higher on the rightside to ac
