The lungs, a vital part of the respiratory system, are responsible for bringing in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. Conditions that affect the airways, bronchioles, and alveoli can lead to various lung diseases. The interstitium, a thin lining between the air sacs, is also susceptible to diseases that impact gas exchange.
