		The lung, situated in the thorax, has its channel connecting with the large intestine and it is therefore externally-internally related to the large intestine.
		As the function of the lung greatly influences the functional activities of the whole body, the lung is said to dominate the qi (vital functions) of the entire body.
		The lung disperses the essentials of food to the body surface, giving lustre to the skin, gloss and luxuriance to the hair, and regulating the opening and closing of the pores.

	Herbland - online resources of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture
		Dominating the qi of respiration means that the lung is a respiratory organ through which the qi from the exterior and the qi from the interior are able to mingle.
		If lung qi is deficient, failure of the lung in dispersing the qi of water and food can result in the skin becoming wan and sallow and lead to deficiency of the anti-pathogenic qi and hence susceptibility to catching cold.
		Since the lung is the uppermost zang organ, its qi descends to promote the circulation of qi and body fluid through the body and to conduct them downwards.

	Speakers Kit on Women & Girls, Tobacco, & Lung Cancer
		The lung cancer epidemic is primarily attributable to cigarette smoking, which is responsible for at least 80% of the disease in women and 90% in men.
		A recent study by Zang and Wynder confirmed earlier findings that the odds ratios for major lung cancer types are consistently higher for women than for men at every level of exposure to cigarette smoke.
		Zang and Wynder conclude that this gender difference cannot be explained by differences in base-line exposure, smoking history, or body size, but is likely due to the higher susceptibility to tobacco carcinogens of women.

	Meridians & Collaterals
		In accordance with the fact that the zang organs pertain to yin, the fu organs to yang, and the medial aspect is attributed to yin, the lateral aspect, to yang, the meridians that pertain to the zang organs are yin meridians, which are mainly distributed on the medial aspect of the four limbs.
		Among the twelve regular meridians, the yin meridians pertaining to the zang organs communicate with the fu organs, while the yang meridians pertaining to the fu organs communicate with the zang organs, thus forming an exterior - interior relation between yin and yang, the zang and fu organs.
		The zang organs (the lung, heart and pericardium) that are situated in the chest are connected with the yin meridians of the hand, while those (the spleen, liver and kidney) in the abdomen are linked with the yin meridians of the foot.

	Traditional Chinese Medicine theory: qi theory
		For example, dysfunction of the Lung will weaken respiration, leading to failure of fresh air to be inhaled and the turbid Qi of the body to be exhaled, with the resultant inadequate formation of Qi.
		For example, the dispersing effect of the Lung is a manifestation of the exit and ascent of Qi, while its descending effect is a manifestation of the descending and entering movements of Qi.
		As Lung Qi serves as the force for breathing and voice, speaking, voice and respiration are all closely related to the quality of Pectoral Qi.
