Exercise I (p. 69)

Your lungs are complex organs. (Lecture language) Let me explain what they
do. (Explanation) They take a gas that your body needs to get rid of—carbon
dioxide—and exchange it for a gas that your body can use—oxygen. In today’s
lecture we will take a close look at how your lungs work and how they keep your
body's cells supplied with oxygen.

Your lungs' main job is to make oxygen available to your body and to remove
other gases, such as carbon dioxide. This process is done 12 to 20 times per
minute. (Lecture language) Let me clarify how this process works.
(Explanation) When you inhale air through your nose or mouth, air travels down
the back of your throat (pharynx), passes through your voice box (larynx), and
into your windpipe (trachea).
