The lungs primarily produce surfactant, a substance composed of lipids and proteins that reduces surface tension in the alveoli, preventing their collapse and aiding in gas exchange. Additionally, the lungs can produce mucus, which traps dust, pathogens, and other particles, helping to keep the airways clear. They also release certain gases, including carbon dioxide as a waste product of metabolism and oxygen during respiration, although oxygen is not produced in the lungs.
