Slice 2

Lobule 2 (lobulus) is part of the human lung. It is one of the lobes of the right lung.

Lobule 2 is located in the lower part of the right lung. It has a triangular shape and borders the diaphragm. Lobule 2 consists of segments of the lung that receive air from the bronchi.

The function of lobule 2, like other lobes of the lung, is gas exchange. In its alveoli, oxygen diffuses into the blood and carbon dioxide is removed from the blood. This is necessary for normal breathing and functioning of the body.

Lobule 2 can be affected by various lung diseases - pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer. In this case, normal gas exchange is disrupted, which leads to hypoxia (oxygen starvation).

Thus, lobule 2 plays an important role in the structure and function of the human right lung. Her condition directly affects the respiratory function of the body.
