Answer:

It's spongy and air filled sort of.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located on either side of the chest (thorax). The trachea (windpipe) conducts inhaled air into the lungs through its tubular branches, called bronchi. The bronchi then divide into smaller and smaller branches (bronchioles), finally becoming microscopic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior of the lungs is made up of spongy tissues containing many capillaries and around 30 million tiny sacs known as alveoli.

The alveoli are cup-shaped structures found at the end of the terminal bronchioles and surrounded by capillaries.
