LUNGS NORMAL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
Lungs are two sponge like organs present in chest cavity ,reach lung is divided into lobes , right lung has 3 lobes and left lung has 2 lobes .
When we breath in , air enters to lungs via mouth, nose and trachea. Trachea is a tube like structure also called windpipe , it is a air passageway to the lungs , trachea is divided into tubes called bronchi which enters lungs and divide further into bronchioles and then end up at balloon like structure called alveoli.
Alveoli plays major role in gases exchange due to it’s surface oxygen is absorbed in and carbon dioxide is taken out of the body
Lung cancer starts in the cells lining of parts of lungs like bronchioles and alveoli. Lungs are covered by one outer layer called pleura , it protects the lungs.
