10. Lower Lobe: It is located below and behind the oblique fissure and contains five bronchopulmonary segments: superior, medial basal,anterior basal, lateral basal, and posterior basal.

11. Pericardium: the fibroserous sac enclosing the heart and the roots of the great vessels.

12. Pharynx: is an organ found in animals, including humans. It is part of the digestive system and also the respiratory system.

13. Larynx: is an organ in the neck of amphibians, reptiles, and mammals involved in breathing, sound production, and protecting the trachea against food aspiration.

14. Esophagus: is an organ in vertebrates which consists of a muscular tube through which food passes from the pharynx to the stomach

15. Left Lung: is the essential respiration organ in many air-breathing animals, including most tetrapods, a few fishand a few snails.

16. Upper Lung: one of the three lobes the right lung is composed of.

17. Pulmonary Artery: carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.

18. Heart: is a hollow muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the blood vesselsto various parts of the body by repeated, rhythmic contractions.

19. Lower Lobe: is a relatively common site for consolidation and can be a tricky diagnosis if the image is underpenetrated and/or if the consolidation is not very dense and/or if a lateral view is not included in the series.

20. Diaphragm: is the dome-shaped sheet of muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen.
