Lungs

Lungs

Lungs are an important aspect of breathing by providing a place for the exchange of gases between blood and air. The lungs are cone shaped and connected to the respiratory tract by the primary bronchi, which are attached to the trachea, or windpipe. The lungs are covered in protective membranes called the pulmonary plurae, and a fluid filled space between the membranes called the pleural cavity. [CG] {NR}
