The left lung which is close to the heart is slighltly smaller and it is divided into two lobes, while the right one is divided into three. People who have a large lung capacity can send oxygen around the body faster; this capacity is increasable with regular exercise. Nevertheless there are individuals who live with just one lung.
The function of the pulmonary circulation is to aid in gas exchange. The pulmonary artery provides deoxygenated blood to the capillaries, and the pulmonary veins return freshly oxygenated blood to the heart for further transport through the body. Their innervation is by the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems, giving respectively the bronchodilation and bronchoconstriction of the airways. The lungs are enclosed by the pleura. The mesothelial cells of the pleural membrane create a fluid, which serves as a lubricant to reduce friction during breathing, and also as an adhesive of lungs to the thoracic wall that can facilitate the movement of the lungs.
While resting, an adult breathes around 12 to 20 times a minute; an average person breathes in around 11,000 litres of air every
