Components

(generated)

• Component items*:
• Lung sensory data (lung-sensory-data)
  • Lung - pulmonary neuroepithelial bodies (pulmonary-neuroepithelial-bodies -> LPC.PN.SG.NOD): trachea, bronchial tree and lungs - intraepithelial receptors
  • Lung - pericardium and pleura receptors (pericardium-pleura-receptors -> LPC.PN.SG.UDRG): somatic sensations
  • Lung - pulmonary stretch receptors (pulmonary-stretch-receptors -> 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)
  • [- glands of trachea, lungs, and bronchi] (LAC.PN.PSYM.PUG -> visceral-glands): increase in airway secretions
  • [- smooth muscles of trachea and bronchial tree] (LAC.PN.PSYM.PUG -> smooth-muscles): constriction of trachea and bronchioles
• Lung breath muscles (lung-breath-muscles)
  • [- thoracic diaphragm] (LPC.SC.VH.PHR -> thoracic-diaphragm): increases thoracic cavity volume; inhalation
  • [- stylopharyngeus muscle] (LPC.HM.AMB -> stylopharyngeus-muscle): elevate the larynx, elevate the pharynx, swallowing
