The type of tissue in the lungs is mostly epithelial. The other tissue is connective, and some of this is blood, which is a liquid connective tissue.
Lungs are made of spongey elastic tissue. Muscles around the lungs help it contract.

Epithelial tissue lines the outer surface of the body and lines the hollow organs.
Trachea, bronchi, nasopharynx and male urethra
bronchioles
1. Muscle 2. connective tissues expand and contract the lungs. 3. Nervous tissue sends and receives messages that help regulate gas exchange in the lungs and the rate at which a person breathes. 4. Epithelial tissue forms the inner lining of the lungs.
alveoli
== Epithelial tissue is located on the very outside of an organ or organism (i.e. skin) or found lining lumen (cavities in hollow organs (i.e. stomach lining). Epithelial tissue always has a free surface (no contact with another cell). Epithelial tissue is also avascular (no blood vessels) and must depend on underlying tissues for the nutrients and oxygen it needs to maintain homeostasis. For this reason, epithelial tissue is usually very thin. Another characteristic of epithelial tissue is that it has little to no intercellular matrix between it's cells. The cells are tightly packed together. Major functions of epithelial tissue include, protection, secretion, and absorption. And as another wiki person ID1342641670 said The epithelial tissue protects the main organ (the heart) from rubbing and damaging the lobes in the heart against the lungs it provides an extra barrier for security and saves the heart from injuries to the upper body around the heart area===
From the windpipe, the air moves through two large passageways, called the bronchi. A complex system of much smaller tubes or bronchioles branch out from your bronchi to carry oxygen to the "working parts" of the lungs - the millions of air sacs or alveoli thanks :0
A ciliated epithelial cell is adapted to remove dirt from people's lungs.
