i was taught that the AORTA doesn't supply O2 to the lungs, neither does 
the PULMONARY ArTERY ( of course!) then, WHAT IS THERE TO SUPPLY NECESSARY 
BLOOD AND GASES AND NUTRIENTS TO THE LUNGS????????????????????
i know that the heart itself has a specific artery and vein system to 
support itself..........so, maybe lungs have got that , too!
