The lung is the main organ of the respiratory system. Located in the rib cage
above the diaphragm.
The left and right lungs are wrapped and protected by the pleura, a membrane
consisting of two sheets. Both lungs are and are separated in the middle by the
mediastinum. Each is composed of lung lobes, three right lung and left only two
due to the space occupied by the heart. Each lung is connected to the trachea
through a main bronchus progressively divided into smaller bronchi and
bronchioles then. Many of them are alveoli and this increases the exchange
surface allowing gas exchange between alveolar air and blood .
