What does LUNG mean in Scrabble?
noun
One of the two organs inside the chest that a person or animal uses to breathe, drawing in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide.
Air travels down the windpipe into each lung, where oxygen passes into the blood and waste carbon dioxide passes out to be breathed away. The two lungs sit on either side of the heart and expand and contract with every breath, so damage to a lung can make breathing difficult.
