Aeration pattern in lungs. Coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) scan of a section through healthy lungs at the level of the heart (not shown), viewed from above. The space where the heart would be is at upper centre. The differences in colours in the lung tissue (parenchyma) represent differences in aeration. The lungs are where oxygen is taken up from the air into the blood, and the respiratory waste gas carbon dioxide is removed from the blood to the lungs. | |
