Thesemovements are quite appreciable towards the apex wherethey easily measure a centimeter and much more importanttoward the base where the movement not uncommonly isfrom two to three centimeters. To this mobility is added that of the thoracic wall, whichis very extensive, especially in front. The mobility of thelung, however, is far from being equal to that of the wall,especially if no adhesions are present. An attempt has been made to distinguish between ad-herent and immobile lungs and free mobile lungs. Thisdistinction has not the practical value which it is supposedto have. * Arcelin.
