En los seres humanos, los pulmones, que pertenecen al sistema respiratorio, reciben el aire que respira la persona y transfiere el oxigeno a la sangre. A la vez, la sangre se deshace del dioxidio de carbón en los pulmones. (In humans, the lungs, which are part of the respiratory system, take in the air that the person breathes and transfer the oxygen to the blood. At the same time, the blood gets rid of carbon dioxide.)
