∙ 12y agoYes, the left lung is smaller and has only two lobes, but the right lung is bigger and has three lobes. Also, the right lung has a bronchus that is wider and more vertical, while the left has one that is more narrow and angled more sideways. That is why most foreign objects fall down the wider, more vertical tube, in the right lung and get lodged there.
