Also known as lungs, borders of the lung
空気呼吸を行うための器官
Your lungs are organs in your chest that extract oxygen from the air you breathe and transfer it into your blood, while also removing carbon dioxide from your blood to release back into the air. This gas exchange process is essential for keeping your body supplied with the oxygen it needs to survive.

肺(はい、英: lung)は、脊椎動物の器官の1つである。肺臓とも呼ばれる。空気中から得た酸素を体内に取り込んだり、不要物である二酸化炭素を空気中に排出したりする役割(気泡の毛細血管で二酸化炭素の排出や酸素の吸収を行っている。)(呼吸)を持つ。これに対して水中から得た酸素を取り込み、水中に排出する器官が鰓(えら)である。 なお、脊椎動物以外の動物、いわゆる無脊椎動物においても、体内に一定の腔所を持ち、その内側でガス交換を行う器官をこう呼ぶ。節足動物のクモガタ類、軟体動物の腹足類にその例がある。
