how many lobes are in the lungs
2) How many lobes do the lungs have? Why do you think that one side has fewer lobes than the other? There are 5 lobes in the lungs: 2 on the left, and 3 on the right. The left lung only has only 2 lobes because there has to be enough room in the chest for the heart, and the heart sits mostly behind the left lung.
