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] (BrainRegionLAC_PN_PSYM_PUG LAC.PN.PSYM.PUG -> HumanMusclesTorso visceral-glands): increase in airway secretions
* [- 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*)

* [- thoracic diaphragm] (BrainRegionLPC_SC_VH_PHR LPC.SC.VH.PHR -> HumanMusclesTorso thoracic-diaphragm): increases thoracic cavity volume; inhalation
* [- stylopharyngeus muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HM_AMB LPC.HM.AMB -> HumanMusclesNeck stylopharyngeus-muscle): elevate the larynx, elevate the pharynx, swallowing
