Lungs, CT scan

---

3D coloured computed tomography (CT) scan of the lungs (yellow) and chest cavity from below. The trachea (windpipe, top centre) can be seen branching into the bronchi, which further branch into bronchioles within the lungs. The lungs are the site of gaseous exchange, where blood is oxygenated and has carbon dioxide removed.
