The lungs are lined with a complicated network of bronchi which filter air and extract the oxygen out of it. The texture of these can be described as spongy, slimy and supple.

It's like the texture of any animal's lungs, smooth. It is made up of smooth muscle (literally, that's the term) after all!
a really soft sponge... they're lovely!
A cat's lungs have a spongy and elastic texture, with numerous small air sacs called alveoli that help in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide during breathing. The lungs are covered by a thin membrane called the pleura that aids in smooth breathing movements.
When inflated, healthy lungs typically appear pink and have a spongy, soft texture due to the presence of air-filled alveoli. In contrast, damaged or diseased lungs may appear darker, with a more rubbery or fibrotic texture, reflecting conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or pulmonary fibrosis. The color and texture can be affected by factors such as smoking, infections, and environmental pollutants, which can lead to discoloration and a loss of elasticity.
The lungs produce a chemical called Yourmomisgayamine. This directly corrolates to the skin texture due to the lack of weenur
I just did this dissection on Friday. They're more smooth and firm. I'm 99% sure that this is because a fetus' lungs wouldn't have to expand and contract yet so it wouldn't take on that flexible, spongy texture. That's the answer I'm putting on my lab report anyway!
Healthy lungs should have a soft and spongy texture. Some squishiness can be normal due to the presence of air in the lungs. If the lungs feel very firm or hard, it could indicate a health issue such as pneumonia or fibrosis.
The spongy texture of the lungs provides a large surface area for gas exchange, allowing more oxygen to enter the bloodstream and more carbon dioxide to be expelled. If the lungs were empty like a balloon, they would have a smaller surface area and would not be as effective in exchanging gases.
Lungs appear red due to the rich supply of blood vessels, specifically the pulmonary capillaries, which transport oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. Their spongy texture is a result of the alveoli, tiny air sacs that facilitate gas exchange, which create a flexible, expandable structure. This design maximizes surface area for effective oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange while allowing the lungs to expand and contract during breathing.
No, amphibians do not primarily breathe through lungs; they typically use both their skin and lungs for respiration. They lay their eggs in water, not on land, and their eggs are usually gelatinous and not protected by a hard shell. Additionally, amphibians have moist and permeable skin, not scaly and dry skin like reptiles.
The texture is smooth.
