They are:

#The 'life-supporting wind' (Tib. ''sok dzin lung''; Wyl. ''srog 'dzin rlung''). Located in the brain, this lung regulates functions such as swallowing, inhalation, and concentration.
#The 'upward-moving wind' (Tib.''gyengyu lung''; Wyl. ''gyen rgyu rlung''). Located in the chest and thorax, this lung regulates, among other things, speech, the body's energy and vitality, memory, mental endeavour and diligence.
#The 'all-pervading wind' (Tib. ''khyap ché lung''; Wyl. ''khyab byed rlung''). Residing in the heart, this lung controls all the motor activities of the body.
#The 'fire-accompanying wind' (Tib. ''me nyam né lung''; Wyl. ''me mnyam gnas rlung''). Found in the stomach and abdomen area, the fire-accompanying wind regulates digestion and metabolism.
#The 'downward-clearing wind' (Tib. ''thursel lung''; Wyl. ''thur sel rlung''). Located in the rectum, bowels and perineal region, this lung's function is to expel faeces, urine, semen, and menstrual blood. It also regulates uterine contractions during labour (to allow the foetus to be 'expelled')<ref>Dr Tamdin Sither Bradley at http://www.the-south-asian.com/Jan2001/Tibetan%20Medicine-How%20and%20why%20it%20works1.htm.</ref>.<noinclude>
