Note :
In all air -
breathing vertebrates the lungs are developed from the ventral wall of the esophagus as a pouch which divides into two sacs .
In amphibians and many reptiles the lungs retain very nearly this primitive saclike character ,
but in the higher forms the connection with the esophagus becomes elongated into the windpipe and the inner walls of the sacs become more and more divided ,
until ,
in the mammals ,
the air spaces become minutely divided into tubes ending in small air cells ,
in the walls of which the blood circulates in a fine network of capillaries .
In mammals the lungs are more or less divided into lobes ,
and each lung occupies a separate cavity in the thorax .
