Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The lungs are the principal organs of respiration. It is a paired of conical shaped organs that are present in the thorax. The main function of the lungs is the exchange of gases such as oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) between the lungs and the blood. Carbon dioxide is normally produced during several metabolic processes in the body and around 75% of CO2 is transported by hemoglobin.
