lobes (left lung)
Last reviewed 01/2018
The lobes of the left lung include:
- left superior lobe
- left inferior lobe
The superior lobe is separated from the inferior lobe by the oblique fissure.
The lingula, part of the left superior lobe, is occasionally considered as a separate lobe despite only rarely being separated and demarcated by a fissure.
Each lobe is further subdivided into bronchopulmonary segments in the submenu.
