The Lungs: Functions, Diseases, and Promoting Lung Health

This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the lungs, starting with an introduction to their basic structure and function as the primary organs of the respiratory system. It delves into the critical role of lungs in gas exchange, highlighting how they facilitate the intake of oxygen and the expulsion of carbon dioxide. The presentation then explores the various diseases and conditions that can affect the lungs, including asthma, and discusses the impact of unhealthy habits like smoking. Furthermore, it outlines practical strategies for promoting and maintaining good lung health, such as deep breathing exercises, staying hydrated, and regular physical activity. The presentation concludes by summarizing the key points, emphasizing the importance of understanding lung function and taking proactive steps to protect respiratory health.

PRESENTATION- THE
LUNGS

INTRODUCTION
• The present presentation is based on Lungs.
• Furthermore, presentation will cover the following insights
as main function of lungs, disease of lungs and about the
lungs and heart.

WHAT ARE LUNGS?
• Lungs can be defined as primary organs of the respiratory system in human body,
many other animals and some snails. It is pair of organs that principals part of
respiratory system. This can be defined as center of the breathing system.
• It is formed of group of organ and tissue that work together to help to breath.
• Thus, its covered by the thin issue of layer that called out as the pleura.
• The lungs can easily catch the infection and injury and some of the disease can
destroy vast areas of the lungs.

WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF LUNGS?
• In the lungs, the oxygen from the air is inhaled and transferred into the blood, when the carbon dioxide is
removed from the blood and exhaled. The main function of lungs is the process of gas exchange that
termed out as respiration.
• It has been researched out that adults typically take 15 to 20 minutes to breaths a minute that comes to
around 20000 a day.
• New-born baby normal breathing rate is about 4o times each minute while the other average resting rate
for adults is 12 to 16 breaths per minute.
• The right lung is categories into three sections and that termed out as lobes. However, the left Lung has
two lobs. Thus, lobes are made of sponge like tissue that surrounded by the membrane that called as
pleura and this separates the lungs from the chest wall.

DISEASE AND CONDITIONS
• The lungs can have various range of issues that
stem from genetics, viruses, unhealthy diet etc.
Thus, the one of the most lung related
condition is asthma.
• Henceforth, the several disease and symptoms
of lung disease and conditions are as-

PROMOTING GOOD LUNG HEALTH
• The one of the best way to promote good lung health is to
quit cigarette smoke because at-least 70 out of 7000
chemicals in cigarette smoke mainly damages the cells
within the lungs.
• The good health can be promoted with help of practising
deep breathing, staying hydrated and regular exercise to keep
the lungs healthy and wealthy.

CONCLUSION
• From the above presentation, it can be stated that the main role of lungs is
to transfer oxygen into the blood supply. In this, the following things
covered as functions of lungs and disease & conditions to lungs.
