The human right lung holds more air than the left
According to York University, the right lung is shorter because it has to make room for the liver, which is right beneath it.
The left lung is narrower because it must make room for the heart.
Typically, a man's lungs can hold more air than a woman's.
At rest, a man's lungs can hold around 750 cubic centimeters (about 1.5 pints) of air, while a woman's can hold around 285 to 393 cc (0.6 to 0.8 pints) of air, according to York University.
