Structure of lungs
Explanation:
- Lungs play a major role in the respiratory system.
- In humans a pair of lungs are so designed that they are lined by a thin membrane.
- The small tubes called bronchioles , a balloon like structure called alveoli and a network of blood capillaries increase the surface area for gas exchange.
- Lungs are soft spongy and elastic organ enclosed by pleura (a thin membranous sac).
- Alveoli provide a larger surface area to maximize the exchange of gas in the lung.
