hi mate,
The most important function of the lungs is to take oxygen from the environment and transfer it to the bloodstream.
Taking more than 6 million breaths per year, the lungs affect every aspect of our bodies and health.
Blood flows through your heart and lungs in four steps: The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. ... The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve out to the rest of the body.
The main function of the lungs is the process of gas exchange called respiration (or breathing).
In respiration, oxygen from incoming air enters the blood, and carbon dioxide, a waste gas from the metabolism, leaves the blood.
A reduced lung function means that the ability of lungs to exchange gases is reduced.
