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

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

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

Explanation:

Identify the anatomical structures of the right lung

Using the Lung Anatomy and Pulmonary Lobes knowledge points

• The image shows the anterior surface of the right lung (left side of the image, with three lobes) and the left lung (right side of the image, with two lobes).
• On the right lung:
• G points to the apex.
• F points to the superior lobe.
• E points to the horizontal fissure.
• D points to the oblique fissure.
• C points to the middle lobe.
• B points to the inferior lobe.
• A points to the base.

Match the label "C" to its name

Using the Pulmonary Lobes and Pulmonary Fissures knowledge points

• Label C points directly to the middle lobe of the right lung, situated between the horizontal fissure (E) and the oblique fissure (D).
• Therefore, the correct choice is "middle lobe".

Answer:

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