Centaurs have 2 sets of ribcages & internal organs, which make them more resistant to organ failures/heart attacks. (lemmynsfw.com)

The lungs could be in the human half but just be far larger than typical human lungs. If the organs in the lower part of a human torso are in the horse half it would make room for more lung in the human torso. I don't imagine you want too much room between the nose/mouth and the lungs if you can help it.

Good point! I was thinking kind of like giraffe, they obviously must have some sort of like very long breathing tube to make it from their head to their lungs.

Maybe centaurs have like some sort of gill system or whatever that would be for land walking mammals?
