Answer:

The lungs perform several metabolic functions including gas exchange, conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), inactivation of vasoactive substances, and protein synthesis. Angiotensin converting enzyme is found on the surface of capillary endothelial cells in the lungs

These nonrespiratory functions of the lung include its own defense against inspired particulate matter, the storage and filtration of blood for the systemic circulation, the handling of vasoactive substances in the blood, and the formation and release of substances used in the alveoli or circulation.
