The lungs are a part of the respiratory system, a group organs that help us breathe. They are a pair of spongy, pinkish-grey organs in the chest. Their major function is respiration, which is what we do when we breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide.
The trachea (or windpipe) is the tube that carries air in and out of the lungs. The lungs are divided into lobes. The right lung has three lobes while the left lung has two. The cardiac notch is a concavity in the lung that accommodates the heart.
Based on what you have just read, can you try and label the parts of the lung?
