Expert Solution
Step 1

Lungs are the organs that play a vital role in our respiratory system. It is the organ that occurs in pairs. The air enters the lungs through the nostrils and passes through the windpipe, reaches the alveoli which is the site of gaseous exchange. Alveoli are supplied by capillaries the oxygen from the air diffuses into the blood through the alveolar wall.
