The document summarizes key aspects of drug absorption from the lungs. It notes that the lungs have a large surface area and thin membrane barriers that facilitate rapid absorption of drugs into the bloodstream. Drugs can be inhaled as gases or aerosols. Absorption depends on factors like the drug's solubility in blood and the difference in its partial pressures in the alveoli and blood vessels. Macromolecules may be absorbed via active or passive transport through lung cells or spaces between cells.
