Best Answer

Lungs are organs which hold air taken in by the mouth and then released into the heart to combine with the blood to provide oxygen throughout the body. When you exhale you breath out carbon dioxide into the air.

Lung capacity is the amount of air taken in by the lungs and then released into the air.
