Your Lungs

 Your lungs are the pair of spongy, pinkish-gray organs in your chest. They are the main organs of the respiratory system, which allows you to breathe. Your lungs make oxygen available to your body and remove carbon dioxide, a waste gas. Your lungs are divided into lobes, and each lung has a tube called a bronchus that connects to your windpipe. Your lungs have many tiny air sacs called alveoli, where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged12

Your lungs are essential for your life and health. They are also affected by many conditions and diseases, such as asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, and lung cancer. To keep your lungs healthy, you should avoid smoking, exercise regularly, and protect yourself from air pollution and infections3
