*The right lung is always larger than the left, due to the positioning of the [[Heart - Anatomy & Physiology|heart]]. The apex of the lungs is their cranial point.

**Left Lung = Cranial and Caudal lobes.  

**'''Left Lung''' = Cranial and Caudal lobes.  

**Right Lung = Cranial, Caudal, Middle and Accessory lobes. The cranial lobe is further divided by an external fissure.[[Image:Routeofairthroughrespiratorysystem.jpg|right|thumb|200px|'''Schematic Diagram showing the route air takes through the respiratory system''']]

*The bulk of the lung consists of [[Bronchi and bronchioles - Anatomy & Physiology|bronchi]], [[Anatomy of Blood Vessels - Anatomy & Physiology|blood vessels]] and connective tissue. The terminal [[Bronchi and bronchioles - Anatomy & Physiology|bronchioles]] have alveoli scattered along their length, and are continued by alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs and finally alveoli.

**'''Alveolar Ducts''': These have alveoli which open on all of it's sides, they have no 'walls' as such. Openings to individual alveoli are guarded by [[Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Smooth Muscle|smooth muscle]].
