The respiratory organ that absorbs oxygen from the air and removes carbon dioxide from the blood

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a bustling party where you need to refresh your drink and dispose of your empty cup. Just like how you navigate through the crowd to get a new drink and toss the old one away, your lungs efficiently manage the exchange of gases. The lungs absorb oxygen from the air like grabbing a new drink, and remove carbon dioxide from the blood similar to discarding the empty cup. This efficient exchange ensures your body gets what it needs (oxygen) and gets rid of what it doesn't (carbon dioxide), just as you ensure you have a fresh drink and an empty hand at the party.
