Child Aged Nine with Healthy Lung Anatomy

Image Description:

Illustration of a female child showing what healthy lungs should look like in the chest. The lungs sit on the left and right sides of the upper chest or thorax, inside the ribcage and are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs. When a child takes a breath, air comes in through the nose and mouth, goes down the throat, and into the main airway leading to the lungs called the trachea. Inhaled air is conducted into the lungs through tubular branches, called bronchi. The bronchi then divide into smaller and smaller branches called bronchioles. The bronchioles eventually end in clusters of microscopic air sacs called alveoli.
