Introduction[edit | edit source]

The lung is a specialised elaborate organ system that is impacted by various factors for example: oxygen abundance; its' interdependence (through a compacted net work of capillaries) to the extrapulmonary systems; and a range of immune cells living in the tissue at steady state. The lung also is host to a small biomass populace of commensal microorganisms that are active during both health and disease, and are able to adjust regulatory immune responses during infections.[1]
