Human lungs are generally considered fully developed by the age of 18 to 25 years. While the basic structure of the lungs is formed by around 8 years of age, the alveoli continue to develop and increase in number until early adulthood. This maturation process is crucial for optimal respiratory function and gas exchange. Factors such as genetics and environmental influences can also impact lung development.
