Question 15 • Anatomy & Physiology B

What are fissures within the lungs?

Answer
A
walls of tissue that separate parts of the lungs
B
muscles that surround the lungs and facilitate breathing
C
the points where oxygen is moved into the blood
D
an area of the lung that is kept separate from other areas

Explanation

Fissures are deep grooves in the lungs formed by folds of tissue. These walls separate the lungs into lobes, so choice A, “walls of tissue that separate parts of the lungs,” is correct. They are not breathing muscles or the sites where oxygen enters the blood.
