Heart

The heart sends blood through the body and carries oxygen within the cells. Once the oxygen is delivered the blood returns to the heart. Then the heart send the blood to the lungs to get oxygen. This is a repeating cycle.

Lungs

The lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs. The trachea conducts inhaled air into the lungs through its tubular branches called bronchi. The bronchi then divide into smaller and smaller branches, finally becoming microscopic.
