Find out whether the structure of the right and left lung is different? If yes, what is the reason.

The right and left lungs differ in size (volume) and shape. The right has 3 beats, the left 2. The left is slightly narrower and longer than the right. The bronchi are also different, the left one is slightly narrower and longer (twice), the right one is wider and shorter. In connection with this anatomical feature, foreign bodies that come from the outside are often stuck in the right bronchus. This difference is due to the borders of the heart, which are slightly more to the left. With a genetic mutation, when the heart is on the right, the right lung will be smaller than the left.
