Each lung is irregularly conical in shape, presenting a blunt upper extremity (the
apex), a concave base following the curve of the diaphragm, an outer convex surface
(costal surface), an inner or mediastinal surface (mediastinal surface), a thin and
sharp anterior border, and a thick and rounded posterior border.;
