Borders of the lung (according to ribs)

[Ven0m]

Kaplan Anatomy lecture notes 2016 (and 2013) have this table where they say the visceral pleura (which wraps around the lung) ends at the 6th rib on the midclavicular line.

But their associated drawing clearly shows the visceral pleura (lung) ending at rib 7, not 6.

Did Kaplan made a mistake, or did I?

You didnot make mistake. Visceral pleura ends at 6th rib in mid clavicular line, 8th rib in midaxillary line and at 10th rib in paravertebral line
