    The lungs' inferior margin moves in a contour following the 6th rib at the midclavicular line, the 8th rib at the midaxillary line, and the 10th vertebra posteriorly during quiet respiration. On the right side, the horizontal fissure follows the contour of the 4th rib anteriorly, while the oblique fissures on both sides follow the 6th rib. Posteriorly, the oblique fissures start at the 4th thoracic vertebra midline and move laterally and downward until reaching the 6th rib near the costal cartilage on each side.

    Respiratory DCP

    Visualising the lungs

    In quiet respiration, the lungs' inferior margin travels following a 6, 8, 10 contour (i.e. rib 6 in the midclavicular line, rib 8 in the midaxillary line, and vertebra T10 posteriorly). Anterior view, the horizontal fissure on the right side follows the contour of rib 4 the oblique fissures on both sides follow the contour of rib 6

    Posteriorly, the oblique fissure on both sides is located in the midline at the spine of vertebra T4. It moves laterally & downward, until it meets rib 6 close to the costal cartilage.
