Lung development is a complex, multi-stage process that begins in the embryonic phase and continues through postnatal life, involving intricate interactions between genetic, molecular, and environmental factors. This process is crucial for establishing the functional respiratory system necessary for effective gas exchange and adaptation to various life stages.
