How the Lung Works

An interactive application that describes the anatomy of the lung and how it works.

This interactive application shows the anatomy of the chest, lung, airways and diaphragm and how breathing works. It also covers how we breathe, the exchange of gas in the lung and the defense mechanisms of the lung. This mobile-friendly module can be used for learning about these concepts, or it can be used by clinicians as an aid to explaining the concepts to patients.
