Lungs

Your lungs help you get oxygen from the air and pass waste gases out of your body. They cooperate with the blood vessels that carry the gases to the rest of your body.

A muscle called the diaphragm contracts to pull air into your lungs, and special layers of cells lubricate the lungs so they don’t get irritated by friction. Tiny hair-like cilia move constantly in coordinated waves to help move dust and other contaminants out of the lungs—the stuff you cough up! All of these things work together to accomplish what God designed them to do.

God has given us the gift of life and we can praise him with every breath we breathe (Psalm 150:6)!
