Bacterial infection can cause this organ to develop a type of granuloma called Ghon lesions. Berylliosis is an occupational disease affecting this organ. A carcinoma of this organ is named for its small, flat, oat-like appearance (15[1])under a microscope. The phospho·lipid D.P.P.C is the main constituent (15[1])of this organ’s namesake surfactant. Drugs such as benazepril inhibit one (*) enzyme found in the capillaries of this organ, which converts angiotensin one to angiotensin two. This organ is surrounded by a serous membrane called the pleura. (10[2])A spirometer tests the function of this organ, which is impaired in COP·D and emphysema. Thin-walled evaginations within these organs named alveoli are the site of gas exchange.
