Does Lung tissue have very few blood vessels?
No, lung tissue has an abundant network of blood vessels.
The lungs are responsible for gas exchange, and they require a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood to function effectively. To facilitate this, the lungs have a very dense network of blood vessels, including capillaries, arterioles, and venules. These vessels allow for the efficient exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and the bloodstream.
