Abstract
This paper will assume that the outlines of lung structure are known by the reader and will emphasize some of the newer information that has accumulated in the last few years about the biology of various types of cells which are found in the lung and airways. It will be convenient to discuss the airways, where bulk flow of air occurs, separately from the acini, where gas exchange with the circulation takes place.
