The left lung only has 2 lobes (superior and inferior) because the heart takes up much of the space allowed on the left side. The right lung; however, has 3 lobes (Superior, Middle, and Inferior). Yes. The left lung is a little less voluminous than the right lung. It has two lobes, whereas the right lung has three. Its volume is displaced a bit more, by the location of the heart, than the right lung.

How many lobes does a fetal pig have in the liver?
"The right lung of a pig has 4 lobes, and the left has 2 or 3 (the number can differ). The reason for the lobe differences is that the heart is positioned further to the left hand side, and the interference of other internal organs prevents the left lung from growing into the thoracic cavity as the right lung does.I dissected a fetal pig last semester, and still had my lab book laying around, so there you go. :c)Source(s):Perry, Morton, Perry.
