What lungs look like. Here is a diagram of the lungs. If you could see them, they would look pink and rubbery on the outside. Inside they look a lot like sponges. Air comes down the trachea (say trak-ee-a), or windpipe, into two large tubes called the bronchi (say bron-key).
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. Lung cancer: Cancer may affect almost any part of the lung. 2  Most lung cancer is caused by smoking. 3  Tuberculosis: A slowly progressive pneumonia caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. 4  Chronic cough, fever, weight loss, and night sweats are common symptoms of tuberculosis.
