Description
Lung Disease is a disease of the Lungs.
An illness that affects the lungs and disrupts their functioning is Lung Disease.
The Lungs are the respiratory organs present in the chest inside the rib cage. They take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
The Lungs supply oxygen to the whole body with the help of the Heart. The Heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the Lungs. The Lungs return the oxygenated blood to the Heart. Then this blood is supplied to the cells, tissues and organs through the bloodstream. The oxygen gives energy to the Whole Body.
