RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D008168
Annotation: /abnorm: CYSTIC ADENOMATOID MALFORMATION OF LUNG, CONGENITAL is available; /‌blood supply: consider also PULMONARY CIRCULATION; /‌surg: consider also PNEUMONECTOMY but PULMONARY SURGICAL PROCEDURES is also available; /‌transpl = LUNG TRANSPLANTATION or HEART-LUNG TRANSPLANTATION: do not coord with TRANSPLANTATION, HOMOLOGOUS unless particularly discussed; inflammation = PNEUMONIA; collapse of lung = PULMONARY ATELECTASIS
Scope Note: Either of the pair of organs occupying the cavity of the thorax that effect the aeration of the blood.
See Also: Air Sacs; Pneumonectomy; Pulmonary Circulation; Respiration
Consider Also: consider also terms at PNEUMO- and PULMON-
