Where the right upper lobe is, in 3D
The right upper lobe is the top of the three lobes of the right lung; the model traces it through the bronchial branches that carry air there. The horizontal and oblique fissures divide the right lung into upper, middle and lower lobes, and the upper lobe lies above the horizontal fissure. Its top, the apex, rises slightly above the clavicle.
Frequently asked questions
Which body system does the right upper lobe belong to?
The right upper 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 upper lobe?
The BAHI BODY 3D model of the lungs also shows the trachea, right middle 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.
How many lobes does the right lung have?
Three: upper, middle and lower. The left lung has two, upper and lower.
