A member asked:
The heart is between and in front of or behind the lungs? are the lungs located towards the front or the back of the chest cavity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Left lung and heart: The heart is on the left side and the left lung sort of wraps around it. The lungs are located in both the front and back of the chest cavity. If you "google" lungs you can see images of how they sit in the chest cavity.
