Lung alveoli

See also: goblet cells, bronchi

Themes

1. Death fright, panic, agony.
2. Not being able to digest an (air) morsel, not being able to breathe.

CA phase

Functional increase, increase of lung alveoli, which on examination can show a spot on the lungs and be diagnosed as lung cancer.

Biological purpose

Improved respiratory function:

1. More oxygen intake to be able to flee or fight to survive.
2. Be able to emit more CO2.

Symptoms

None.

PCL Phase A

Normalization of lung function. Breaking down of extra lung cells by fungi or TB bacteria, if present.

Symptoms

Extreme fatigue, smelly night sweats, fever, shortness of breath, coughing up blood and bloody mucus. This used to be called lung TB; now it is usually diagnosed as lung cancer.

EC

Strong pain, chills, coughing up (a lot of) blood.

PCL-B

Diminishing symptoms and (prolonged) coughing up lumps of decomposed lung tissue. Spot on lungs may stay visible, also after the program has finished.

Hanging healing: further reduction of lung tissue, lung emphysema (see also endoderm). Filled with fluid: the syndrome.

Relapses or hanging healing after crisis: sarcoidosis (with scar tissue).

Constellation of lung alveoli (relais for O2 uptake and CO2 excretion, see brain): hyperventilation.
