Question

given the following photo of a human cadavers anterior lung surface:

match the component labeled with a(n) \f\ to its associated name from the choices below.

superior lobe
oblique fissure
horizontal fissure
apex
base
middle lobe
inferior lobe

Explanation:

Identify the anatomical structures

Using the Lung Anatomy and Pulmonary Lobes knowledge points:

• The image displays the anterior surface of the right and left lungs of a human cadaver.
• The right lung (on the left side of the image) has three lobes: superior, middle, and inferior, separated by the horizontal and oblique fissures.
• The left lung (on the right side of the image) has two lobes: superior and inferior, separated by the oblique fissure.
• Label G points to the apex of both lungs.
• Label A points to the base of both lungs.
• Label F points to the superior lobe of both the right and left lungs.

Match label F to the choices

Using the Pulmonary Lobes knowledge point:

• Label F is located at the uppermost region of both lungs, below the apex (G).
• This region corresponds to the superior lobe.
• Therefore, the correct choice is "superior lobe".

Answer:

• superior lobe (Correct answer)
• oblique fissure
• horizontal fissure
• apex
• base
• middle lobe
• inferior lobe
