Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The lungs are indeed covered by the visceral pleura, which is a membrane that directly covers the lungs. The right lung actually has three lobes, not two, and the left lung has two lobes, not three, making statement A incorrect. The apex of the lung does not rest against the diaphragm; instead, it extends slightly above the clavicle, making statement B incorrect.
