One of the most important parts of the human body is the lungs. The lungs are located behind the chest. There are multiple parts of the lungs like the bronchus the main parts which are the big balloon shaped organs. The bronchus are made of muscle sort of stuff that is kind of squishy Then there is the trachea also known as the windpipe. Then we get to the throat which comes out the windpipe and into the mouth.
What are the lungs. The lungs are very important every cell in the body relies on the oxygen. The lungs get the oxygen for you. The lungs are the respiratory system. They take the oxygen out of the air. They also take the carbon dioxide out of the body.This is called gas exchange a vital process for you to continue living a part of breathing when the air is pumped in and the carbon dioxide is pumped out
How the lungs work. The air contains oxygen and other kinds of gases like nitrogen carbon dioxide and argon.The lungs take all the oxygen and get rid of the rest. the oxygen gets into the lungs then it goes to the blood stream and to all the cells in the body. When it gets to the cells it puts oxygen in and brings the carbon dioxide out.
Now the lungs bring the carbon dioxide back around the body. Then back through the lungs and then up the windpipe and out your nose or out your mouth. You repeat this process over and over again throughout the whole day.
There are three main types of lung disease: Airway diseases These diseases affect the airways that carry oxygen and other gases into and out of the lungs. They usually cause a narrowing or blockage of the airways. Airway diseases include asthma, emphysema, bronchiectasis, and chronic bronchitis
Now that is how the lungs work. They filter the oxygen out of the air and take the carbon dioxide out of your body. Did you know that you breathe 20- 30 times a minute without even noticing. Also the left and right lungs aren't the same the left lung is divided into two lobes and the one on the right is divided into three
