A condition in which this organ undergoes severe fibrosis commonly occurs in chemotherapy patients taking Busulfan or Bleomycin. One disease that affects this organ causes Ranke and Ghon complexes to appear in it, and also causes caseating necrosis of this organ via granuloma formation. V/Q scans are commonly used to evaluate the function of this organ. A cancer of this organ's neuroendocrine cells sometimes causes the syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion and increased ACTH levels, and was formerly called oat cell carcinoma. Diseases of this organ are commonly sorted by their FEV1 to FVC ratio into either restrictive or obstructive, and hyaline membranes appear in this organ in infants who do not produce enough surfactant. For 10 points, name this organ which contains a series of tiny sacs called alveoli.
