Lung

The lungs are essential organs in your body responsible for breathing. They take in oxygen from the air you breathe, which your blood carries to your cells to produce energy. At the same time, they remove carbon dioxide, a waste product, from your blood, releasing it when you exhale. The lungs are made of a network of delicate tissues and tiny air sacs called alveoli, where gas exchange occurs. Proper lung function is vital for overall health, helping you stay active and alert by ensuring your body gets enough oxygen and removes waste gases efficiently.
