The right lung is one of the two lungs of the respiratory system and is located on the upper right side of the chest above the diaphragm and is connected to the two bronchi.
As an important part of the respiratory system, the right lung consists of bronchi, bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli.
The main function of the pulmonary artery of the right lung is to bring blood from the veins into the lungs, after which it reaches the walls of the alveoli to form a microhematopoietic network, which then transports the oxygen that enters via the bronchi through the alveoli into the bloodstream for use by the various parts of the body, and at the same time removes carbon dioxide from the bloodstream.
In addition to its respiratory function, the right lung is an important organ with blood storage, filtration and metabolic functions. The right lung is able to maintain adequate blood output from the left ventricle through the pulmonary circulation vessels, filter particles from venous blood, and participate in the storage, conversion, decomposition, and synthesis of a wide range of substances.
If the patient has lung discomfort, it is recommended to actively seek medical attention.
