*The left and right lungs lie within their [[Pleural cavity and membranes - Anatomy & Physiology|pleural]] sac and are only attached by their roots, to the [[Mediastinum - Anatomy & Physiology|mediastinum]], so they are fairly free within the thoracic cavity.

*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.
