The lungs lie lateral to the heart
Chat with our AI personalities
Your lungs do not hold the heart. Heart is placed in the mediastinum between both the lungs. Two third part of the heart is on the left side of plane that passes from mid-line. So heart has more impression on the left lung as compared to right lung.
No, the heart is placed on top of the left lung. That is why there are only two lobes on the left lung and three on the right. ONe lobe had to be removed in order for the heart to be placed. Although many people think the heart is in the centre of your lungs it is actually just in front of the left lung.
The blood that leaves the right side of the heart is passed into the pulmonary arteries. This blood is oxygenated in the lungs and passes through the pulmonary veins into the left side of the heart.
they transport deoxygenated blood from the heart to either the left or right lung where the blood is oxygenated
because there lung and heart don't work propely
