What else can I help you with?
In which layer of the alveolar membrane are the cleanup cells located?
The cleanup cells, also known as alveolar macrophages, are located in the alveolar space within the alveolar membrane. They play a crucial role in clearing debris, bacteria, and other particles from the lungs to maintain respiratory health.
What are dust cells?
Dust cells are specialized cells found in the respiratory system that help remove foreign particles, such as dust or pathogens, from the airways. They play a role in defending the lungs against inhaled pollutants and maintaining respiratory health. Dust cells are also known as alveolar macrophages.
What is also known as the intra alveolar pressure?
Intra-alveolar pressure is also known as the machinal chain.
How does the body remove microorganisms that make their way into the respiratory zone?
alveolar macrophages crawl freely along internal alveolar surfaces
What is also known as the intra-alveolar pressure?
Intra-alveolar pressure is also known as the machinal chain.
What would happen if a dust particle made it to the alveoli?
The alveolar macrophages would phagocytize(eat) it.

What are the three types of alveolar cells?
There are three major alveolar cell types in the alveolar wall (pneumocytes):* Type I cells that form the structure of an alveolar wall* Type II cells that secrete surfactant to lower the surface tension of water and allows the membrane to separate thereby increasing the capability to exchange gases.* Type III cells that destroy foreign material, such as bacteria.

What is the function of alveolar macrophage in the lungs?
function of alveolar macrophagesThe function of alveolar macrophage in the lungs is to remove dust particles and other debris from alveolar spaces. -SheshiAveolar macrophages work to break up surfactanct in the aveoli which exists to decrease surface tension in the lungs. If there is a disorder where the macrophage does not function correctly, such as in PAP, the surfactant will not be broken up and decreased ventilation will occur resulting in less oxygen delivery.
What removes debris from the air?
Alveolar macro-phages uptake debris which reach the alvoli. they are derived from circulating monocytes as well as mitotic division of already present macrophages.
