The topics discussed included physiological cellular lung function in production and metabolism of surfactant, fluid transfer, control of airways tone and vascular tone control; protective cellular lung functions, e.g., phagocytosis; immunoglobulin production, chemotactic factors and mediators, secretory function, transport and coughing; nodulating cells with anabolic and catabolic effects, e.g., the secretory receptors, cholinergic and adrenergic nerve endings, mast cells, APUD cells, eosinophils and endothelial cells; and inflammatory and immunological lung reactions.
