| MP term: | increased number of pulmonary neuroendocrine bodies |
| Synonym: | increased NEBs |
| Synonym: | increased pulmonary neuroepithelial body number |
| MP id: | MP:0010919 |
| Definition: | greater number of the corpuscular, organoid structures composed of PNECs, found as distinctive innervated clusters only within intrapulmonary airways, where they appear concentrated at airway branch points; NEBs reach from the basement membrane to the airway lumen and are thought to function as oxygen sensors |
| Number of paths to term: | 2 |
