Explanation

Normal lung excursion refers to the regular movement of the lungs during breathing. When a person breathes in, the lungs should expand or fill up with air, and when they breathe out, the lungs should contract or empty out. This movement is important for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. If the lungs are not moving as they should, it could indicate a problem with the person's respiratory system.
