The trachea in reptiles is similar to that of higher vertebrates, with well-developed hyaline rings.  However, there is no mucociliary transport mechanism to aid the removal of foreign substances from the respiratory tract.  Furthermore, the absence of a diaphragm prevents the animal from coughing. \n\nThe lungs are similar to the avian-type system with a series of reticulated open-ended sacs and many capillaries in close proximity.  The cranial part of the reptile lung is the gaseous exchange portion, while the caudal part functions as an air sac.  The latter may act as a reserve of air during periods of apnoea. \n\nAlveolar macrophages are present in the reptilian lung, but may display poor bacterial removal if the animal is being kept below its optimal temperature. \n\nIn snakes, the right lung is larger than the left, and generally stretches from the heart to the kidney.  It may extend even further down to the cloaca in some aquatic snakes.  Some snakes have a tracheal lung on the dorsal aspect of the trachea, which enables the snake to breathe when the main lung is compressed by swallowed prey.

Lung is a special organ which allows gas exchange. Air passes through trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and finally alveoli. Oxygen will diffuse form the alveoli into the blood plasma whereas the diffusion of carbon dioxide occurs in opposite direction.

The excretory system is responsible for removing waste materials from the body. The primary organ for excretion is the kidney which releases waste in the form of urine. Another organ of excretion is the skin which removes waste from the body in the form of sweat. Another organ of excretion is the lung. The lung is responsible for removing Carbon dioxide and water vapor. And the last member of the said system is the large intestine. The large intestine is responsible for removing undigested food from the body. The process of doing so is called elimination rather than excretion.

Lung\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\nThe lungs flank the heart and great vessels in the chest cavity. (Source: Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body, 20th ed. 1918.)\n\nThe lungs flank the heart and great vessels in the chest cavity. (Source: Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body, 20th ed. 1918.)\nAir enters and leaves the lungs via a conduit of cartilaginuous passageways — the bronchi and bronchioles. In this image, lung tissue has been dissected away to reveal the bronchioles.

In this image, lung tissue has been dissected away to reveal the bronchioles. (Source: Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body, 20th ed. 1918.)\n\nThe lung is the essential organ of respiration in air-breathing vertebrates. Its principal function is to transport oxygen from the atmosphere into the bloodstream, and to excrete carbon dioxide from the bloodstream into the atmosphere. This it accomplishes with the mosaic of specialized cells that form millions of tiny, exceptionally thin-walled air sacs where gas exchange takes place. Lungs also have nonrespiratory functions.\n\nMedical terms related to the lung often begin with pulmo-, from the Latin pulmonarius ("of the lungs"), cognate with the Greek pleumon ("lung").\n\nRespiratory function\n\nEnergy production from aerobic respiration often requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide as a by-product, creating a need for an efficient means of oxygen delivery to cells and carbon dioxide excretion from cells. In smaller organisms, such as single-celled bacteria, this process of gas exchange can take place entirely by simple diffusion. In larger organisms, this is not possible; only a small proportion of cells are close enough to the surface for oxygen from the atmosphere to enter them through diffusion. Two major adaptations made it possible for organisms to attain great multicellularity: an efficient circulatory system that conveyed gases to and from the deepest tissues in the body, and a large, internalised respiratory system that centralized the task of obtaining oxygen from the atmosphere and bringing it into the body, whence it could rapidly be distributed to all tissues via the circulatory system.\n\nIn air-breathing vertebrates, respiration occurs in a series of steps. Air is brought into the animal via the airways — in reptiles, birds and mammals this often consists of the nose; the pharynx; the larynx; the trachea; the bronchi and bronchioles; and the terminal branches of the respiratory tree. The lungs of mammals are a rich lattice of alveoli, which provide an enormous surface area for gas exchange. A network of fine capillaries allows transport of blood over the surface of alveoli. Oxygen from the air inside the alveoli diffuses into the bloodstream, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood to the alveoli, both across thin alveolar membranes. The drawing and expulsion of air is driven by muscular action; in early tetrapods, air was driven into the lungs by the pharyngeal muscles, whereas in reptiles, birds and mammals a more complicated musculoskeletal system is used. In the mammal, a large muscle, the diaphragm (in addition to the internal intercostal muscles), drive ventilation by periodically altering the intra-thoracic volume and pressure; by increasing volume and thus decreasing pressure, air flows into the airways down a pressure gradient, and by reducing volume and increasing pressure, the reverse occurs. During normal breathing, expiration is passive and no muscles are contracted.. [\n\nNonrespiratory functions\n\nIn addition to respiratory functions such as gas exchange and regulation of hydrogen ion concentration, the lungs also:\n\n    * influence the concentration of biologically active substances and drugs used in medicine in arterial blood\n    * filter out small blood clots fo

The heart is what pumps blood and is the centerpiece of the circulatory system. Without it the blood could not carry the nutrients the body needs. The lungs take in oxygen to help feed the bloodstream. Basically both organs do the same job, just in different ways and for the same end. Keeping YOUR blood infused with the nutrients the body requires to sustain itself. Hope this helps.

In biology, an organ (Latin: organum, "instrument, tool") is a group of tissues that perform a specific function or group of functions. Usually there is a main tissue and sporadic tissues. The main tissue is the one that is unique for the specific organ. For example, main tissue in the heart is the myocardium, while sporadic are the nervous, blood, connective etc. (Wikipedia.org)\n\nIn zootomy and dermatology, skin is an organ of the integumentary system made up of multiple layers of epithelial tissues that guard underlying muscles and organs. As the interface with the surroundings, it plays the most important role in protecting against pathogens. Its other main functions are insulation and temperature regulation, sensation and vitamin D and B synthesis. Skin is considered one of the most important parts of the body.(Wikipedia.org)\n\nPretty much the skin is considered an organ because it is a group of tissues speciallizing in a certain task / tasks. For example the skin regulates temperature by using the sweat glands to produce sweat - sweat evaporates and cools the body.

Respiration is performed using tracheae, air-filled tubes which open at the surfaces of the thorax and abdomen through pairs of spiracles. The spiracle valves only open to allow oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. The tracheoles, found at the end of the tracheal tubes, are insinuated between cells and carry oxygen throughout the body.

The upper respiratory tract also functions to warm and humidify the air you breath so this is one function that is lost. To counter this the air/oxygen mix should be warmed and humidified. If not the lining of the respiratory tract would become dried and damaged as a result.\n\nThe upper respiratory tract also serves to filter particles from the air so filters must be attached to the ventilator.
