Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Inhale!!!!Your lungs are ____ air
A
taking in
B
letting out
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When you inhale (breathe in), air enters your lungs, and oxygen from that air moves to your blood. At the same time, carbon dioxide, a waste gas, moves from your blood to the lungs and is exhaled (breathed out). This process, called gas exchange, is essential to life.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lungs and respiratory system allow us to breathe. They bring oxygen into our bodies (called inspiration, or inhalation) and send carbon dioxide out (called expiration, or exhalation). This exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is called respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the diaphragm contracts, air is pulled into your airway through your nose or mouth. Air then travels down your airway, or trachea, dividing into your right or left lung via the bronchi. The bronchi then separate into small tubes called bronchioles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Air is pulled into your nose or mouth, and into your windpipe. This divides into airways supplying the left and right lungs. The air passes down the airways, which divide another 15 to 25 times, and finally into thousands of smaller airways until the air reaches the air sacs.
