What Is a Lung Nodule?
You can think of our lungs as a type of bag that inflates and deflates much like balloons do. With each inhalation, the lungs draw oxygen laden air into them. This air is then dissolved into the body through the lining of the lungs. The oxygen they provided us with is essential for our survival, so it pays to keep them in good condition.
As with other parts of the body, the lungs are prone to developing growths and other issues. There are various types that can develop on the lungs and these are known as lung nodules depending on their size.
