The '''lung''' (from {{Indo-European|*lengu̯h}} "light"; {{Latin|pulmo, -onis m.}}) is a paired [[organ]] used for [[respiration]] in [[humans]] and almost all air-breathing [[vertebrates]], but also in some [[fish]] such as [[w:lungfish|lungfish]]. It is formed during embryonic development as an outpouching of the [[w:foregut|foregut]]. In the [[macrocosm]] it corresponds to the planet [[Mercury]] and the planetary metal [[Mercury (element)|mercury]].
