Where the right lower lobe is, in 3D
The right lower lobe is the bottom of the three lobes of the right lung; the model traces it through the bronchial branches that carry air there. It lies below and behind the oblique fissure, and its base rests on the diaphragm. Seen from behind, most of the lung is lower lobe.
Frequently asked questions
Which body system does the right lower lobe belong to?
The right lower lobe belongs to the respiratory system. The respiratory system is the airway that starts at the nose and mouth and runs through the pharynx, larynx and trachea into the bronchi and lungs.
What else can you see alongside the right lower lobe?
The BAHI BODY 3D model of the lungs also shows the trachea, right upper lobe, right middle lobe, left upper lobe and left lower lobe.
Where are the lungs?
The lungs are the breathing organs on either side of the chest.
What lies beneath the right lower lobe?
The diaphragm, with the liver beneath it.
