The apex of the lung (the highest point) lies 3 or 4 cm above the inner third of the clavicles. The base (lower border) rests on the diaphragm at about the fifth intercostal space in the right midclavicular line and at the sixth rib, the midclavicular line on the left. Laterally, the lung extends from the apex of the axilla to the seventh or eighth rib; and posteriorly, C7 marks the apex, and T10 usually corresponds to the base. On deep inspiration, the lungs expand their lower border to the level of T12.
