Figure 20: Dorsal side of the lungs; slightly pulled apart. a, a¹, a² left apex, cardiac and base lobes (now known as left cranial [divided into a cranial and caudal part] and caudal lobes); b, b¹, b² right apex, cardiac and base lobes (now known as right cranial, middle and caudal lobes); c Lobus intermedius (accessory lobe); d end of trachea; e left and e’ right main bronchus; f, f pulmonary artery and its branches; g, g pulmonary vein. 1 left tracheobronchial lymph node; 2 right tracheobronchial lymph node; 3 middle tracheobronchial lymph node; 4, 4′ pulmonary lymph nodes; 5 subserous lymph vessel passing around the Margo acutus onto the diaphragmatic surface where it runs deeper; 6, 6¹ subserous lymph vessels running in the first part of the pulmonary ligament; 7, 7, 7 subserous lymph vessels, which start to run deep at this location; 8 left and 8¹ right mediastinal lymph node.
