| lobus inferior pulmonis | It is located below and behind the oblique fissure and contains five bronchopulmonary segments: superior, medial basal, anterior basal, lateral basal, and posterior basal. Synonym: lobus inferior pulmonis, lower lobe of lung. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobus medius pulmonis dextri | It is located anteriorly between the horizontal and oblique fissures and includes lateral and medial bronchopulmonary segments. Synonym: lobus medius pulmonis dextri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lobus superior pulmonis | The lobe of the right lung that lies above the oblique and horizontal fissures and includes the apical, posterior and anterior bronchopulmonary segments; in the left lung, the lobe lies above the oblique fissure and contains the apicoposterior, anterior, superior lingular and inferior lingular segments.
