lung: Your lungs are the two organs inside your chest which fill with air when you breathe in. Either of two light, spongy, elastic organs in the chest, used for breathing.

Each bronchus branches into secondary bronchi (one per lobe of lung), tertiary bronchi (one per segment of lung), and many bronchioles leading to the pulmonary alveoli. There oxygen in the inspired gas is exchanged for carbon dioxide from the blood in the surrounding capillaries.
