No there isn't. The alveoli (air sack) consist of an epithelial layer and extracellular matrix surrounded by capillaries.
There are about 30,000 of them in each lung.
There are 10 bronchi in each lung.
the left and right bronchi
Pleura is a double layered membrane surrounding each lung.
Trachea
Consisting of thousands of tiny air sacs increases the surface area inside of the lung which allows for better gas exchange. If the lung was made of one larger air sac, you would not be able to exchange as many gases (oxygen/CO2) with each breath.
Bronchi are the two tubes that branch off into each lung.
The right lung contains 4 lobes while the left lung contains 3
Pleura is a double layered membrane surrounding each lung.
The lung is enclosed by a thin memrane called pleura
