The lungs are located on either side of the breastbone in the chest cavity and are divided into five main sections (lobes). The lungs are responsible for removing carbon dioxide from the blood and adding oxygen to it.

Where are the lungs found? The lungs are found in the chest on the right and left side. At the front they extend from just above the collarbone (clavicle) at the top of the chest to about the sixth rib down. At the back of the chest the lungs finish around the tenth rib.
