This page covers biological details of component Lung.
Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

'''Component items''':
* '''Lung sensory data''' ('''lung-sensory-data''')
** Lung - pulmonary neuroepithelial bodies (pulmonary-neuroepithelial-bodies -> [[BrainRegionLPC_PN_SG_NOD|LPC.PN.SG.NOD]]): trachea, bronchial tree and lungs - intraepithelial receptors
** Lung - pericardium and pleura receptors (pericardium-pleura-receptors -> [[BrainRegionLPC_PN_SG_UDRG|LPC.PN.SG.UDRG]]): somatic sensations
** Lung - pulmonary stretch receptors (pulmonary-stretch-receptors -> [[BrainRegionLPC_PN_SG_JUG|LPC.PN.SG.JUG]]): imitate the Hering-Breuer reflex, which reduces the respiratory rate; increased firing from the stretch receptors also increases production of pulmonary surfactant
* '''Lung visceral activity''' ('''lung-visceral-activity''')
** [http://education.yahoo.com/reference/gray/subjects/subject/237 Lung - glands of trachea, lungs, and bronchi] ([[BrainRegionLAC_PN_PSYM_PUG|LAC.PN.PSYM.PUG]] -> [[HumanMusclesTorso|visceral-glands]]): increase in airway secretions
** [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchus Lung - smooth muscles of trachea and bronchial tree] ([[BrainRegionLAC_PN_PSYM_PUG|LAC.PN.PSYM.PUG]] -> [[HumanMusclesTorso|smooth-muscles]]): constriction of trachea and bronchioles
* '''Lung breath muscles''' ('''lung-breath-muscles''')
** [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semispinalis_dorsi Lung - thoracic diaphragm] ([[BrainRegionLPC_SC_VH_PHR|LPC.SC.VH.PHR]] -> [[HumanMusclesTorso|thoracic-diaphragm]]): increases thoracic cavity volume; inhalation
** [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stylopharyngeus_muscle Lung - stylopharyngeus muscle] ([[BrainRegionLPC_HM_AMB|LPC.HM.AMB]] -> [[HumanMusclesNeck|stylopharyngeus-muscle]]): elevate the larynx, elevate the pharynx, swallowing
