Where the right middle lobe is, in 3D
The right middle lobe is the middle of the three lobes of the right lung, a lobe only the right lung has; the model traces it through its bronchial branches. It is the wedge-shaped lobe between the horizontal and oblique fissures, the smallest of the three right lobes, lying towards the front.
Frequently asked questions
Which body system does the right middle lobe belong to?
The right middle 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 middle lobe?
The BAHI BODY 3D model of the lungs also shows the trachea, right upper lobe, right lower lobe, left upper lobe and left lower lobe.
Where are the lungs?
The lungs are the breathing organs on either side of the chest.
Does the left lung have a middle lobe?
No. Instead the left upper lobe has a tongue-shaped projection at its lower front called the lingula.
