title: Structure, function, and metabolism in the lung.
abstract: Research into the molecular basis of cellular injury and repair will lead to advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of infectious and noninfectious respiratory disease in cattle. In order to appreciate these advances fully, it is necessary to define the basics of structure, function, and metabolism in the respiratory system.
