Key points
- The lungs are paired respiratory organs that lie in the chest on either side of the central compartment containing the heart.
- The right lung has three lobes, while the left lung has two lobes and accommodates the position of the heart.
- Branching airways carry air to the alveoli, where oxygen and carbon dioxide pass between air and blood.
- Pulmonary vessels support gas exchange, while bronchial vessels supply the tissues of the lungs.
Definition
