Abstract

Gurkan Mollaoglu*

Lung development is a remarkable and intricate process that unfolds from the early stages of embryogenesis to the fully matured adult lung. The human respiratory system consists of two lungs that play a vital role in facilitating the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, a process necessary for sustaining life. The development of these vital organs begins during the early weeks of fetal life and continues well into postnatal stages. Understanding the journey of lung development is essential not only from a scientific perspective but also in the context of clinical medicine. In this comprehensive exploration, we will delve into the fascinating journey of lung development, elucidating the key stages, factors and complexities involved in the formation of these essential organs.
