No, the lungs are not an organelle; they are organs in the respiratory system of vertebrates. Organs are made up of different types of tissues that work together to perform specific functions, while organelles are specialized structures within cells that carry out essential cellular processes. The primary function of the lungs is to facilitate gas exchange, allowing oxygen to enter the bloodstream and carbon dioxide to be expelled.
The respiratory system, of mammals in particular, consists of respiratory airways, lungs and muscles concerned with respiration. The respiratory airways include the trachea, bronchiole, alveoli. Lungs perform function of exchange of gases. Muscles of the diaphragm contribute to breathing activity.

The Respiratory System includes the lungs.
I think you mean the diaphragm, and that's part of the respiratory system. It's a muscle below the lungs, and when it tightens, it increases the volume of the cavity the lungs are in, so the lungs increase in volume as well, and air rushes into the lungs.
The lungs, diaphragm, and bronchial tubes are essential parts of the respiratory system. The lungs facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, the diaphragm helps with breathing by expanding and contracting the chest cavity, and the bronchial tubes help transport air to and from the lungs.
It brings the oxygen into lungs.
Usually it is done by means of lungs.
Working together, the respiratory and circulatory systems perform gas exchange from the blood to the lungs. This exchange occurs at the alveoli.

The respiratory system. The alveoli are air sacs in the lungs.
The lungs are the major organs of the respiratory system. The respiratory system consists of nose, nasal passages, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea and lungs.
Some of the components of the respiratory system are the major structures like the throat, windpipe, and lungs. The other parts are smaller things like the alveoli, which are tiny sacs in the lungs where over a million of them work to transfer oxygen and carbon dioxide in and out of blood.

The lungs belong to the respiratory system.
Cellular respiration. Cells need oxygen that enters the body through the respiratory system, then the circulatory system does the oxygen and carbon dioxyde exchange to complete cellular respiration. Digestive and circulatory - nourishment Urinary and circulatory - excrements, filtration etc
During respiration, oxygen enters the body through the respiratory system (nose/mouth) and travels down the trachea into the lungs. In the lungs, oxygen is taken up by red blood cells in the alveoli and transported through the bloodstream to body tissues where it is used for cellular respiration. Carbon dioxide, a waste product of cellular respiration, is then transported back to the lungs and exhaled.
