Synapse !

Lung Segments

Best remembered by comparing both sides and noting the differences.

Right has ten segments and left has eight due to fusion.

For memory sake , each side has been divided into three sections : Upper, middle, and lower. Remember though, that the lingular lobe is part of the left upper lobe.

Upper section:

Right Upper Lobe: 1. Anterior 2 .Apical,  3. Posterior

Left upper lobe :    1. Anterior 2 .Apical - Posterior

Middle section:

Right Middle Lobe has MEDIAL & lateral

Left LINGULAR Lobe has INFERIOR & Superior

Lower Section:

Right Lower Lobe:

1. Apical basal 2. Anterior basal 3. Medial basal 4. Lateral basal 5. Posterior basal

Left Lower Lobe

1. Apical basal 2. Anterior - Medial basal 3. Lateral basal 4. Posterior basal
