5 Things You Didn't Know About Your Lungs!🫁
Your lungs work hard every day, but do you know how amazing they really are? Check out these fun facts:
🌳Your lungs have a tree-like system: the trachea splits into bronchi, which branch into bronchioles, ending in tiny air sacs called alveoli.
🎾If you were to spread out all the tiny air sacs in your lungs (alveoli), they would cover an area about the size of a tennis court. That’s a huge amount of space for breathing!
❤️The right lung is larger and has three lobes, while the left lung has two lobes to make room for your heart!
🌬️An adult takes about 20,000 breaths a day. That’s a lot of air for your body!
🤣Laughing and singing help your lungs breathe deeper and take in more oxygen. So, sing your heart out!
