You might be asking: why have we decided to dedicate an entire tutorial to the medial views of the lungs? Well, when you are in an anatomy lab or when you’re in an exam, usually, your professor will show the lungs in different positions, in different views, and you need to be able to identify all these structures that are found within the medial views and also the lateral views, and anterior, and posterior, and so on, of every organ, every structure there is. So we think it’s important to dedicate an entire tutorial where we’re just going to dive into the structures that we find on the medial views of these organs.

The lungs are located on the chest cavity as you probably guessed by not only knowing from common knowledge or from the first grade that you learn that your lungs are located within your chest, but also from this image that you can see that they’re located in the chest cavity occupying the left and right pleural cavities on either side of the, more fancy word here, the mediastinum which is where they’re located and are covered by visceral pleura known as the pulmonary pleura, which is covering the lungs basically. And then this structure will reflect at the mediastinum and continue as this other type of pleura known as the parietal pleura. So visceral pleura is basically covering the lungs, while the parietal pleura covers the thoracic cavity.

In the full version of this tutorial, we will look at the following topics:
general anatomy of the lungs;
general structures of the lung, seen from a medial view of the left and right lungs;
blood vessels and lymphatics;
