To keep you alive by breathing for you. It is in the lungs that venous blood containing Carbon Dioxide comes to so you can breathe it out (exhale) and then picks up Oxygen (inhale) to distribute it throughout the body via the arteries.

The function of the lungs is respiration. That is the act of expanding during the inhalation and contracting during exhalation. During that time the lungs absorb O2 (dioxide) and excrete CO2 (carbon dioxide).
