Detailed explanation-1: -The surface area of both lungs is roughly the same size as a tennis court and the total length of the airways running through them is 1, 500 miles. That’s about the distance from Chicago to Las Vegas.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your trachea is divided into two air passages called bronchial tubes. One bronchial tube leads to your left lung, the other to your right lung.
Detailed explanation-3: -There is also a structural advantage to having the lungs be separate, the main one being that the bronchial tubes bifurcate naturally, and that there is a place for the heart and other “indivisible” organs in the middle. Separation also decreases the chance of problems or disease in one spreading to the other.
Detailed explanation-4: -All About Your Lungs We breathe 25000 times a day and inhale about 11000 litres of air per day using our Lungs. It it important to care for our Lungs for a good healthy life.
