Apex of lung

Template:Infobox Anatomy

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

The apex of the lung is rounded, and extends into the root of the neck, reaching from 2.5 to 4 cm. above the level of the sternal end of the first rib.

A sulcus produced by the subclavian artery as it curves in front of the pleura runs upward and lateralward immediately below the apex.
