What are the most numerous cells in the lungs?
type 1 alveolar cells
What type of cell secrets surfactant?
type ii alveolar cells
What cells secrete surfactant that reduces the tendency for pulmonary alveoli to collapse?
Type 2 Alveolar cells
Wall of alveolar is made of what epithelium?
Simple, squamous epithelium which makes it easy for respiratory gases to diffuse across.
What type of pneumonia is characterized by alveolar consolidation?
Bronchopneumonia
What produces surfactant?
type II alveolar cells
What are the most numerous cells in the lungs?
type 1 alveolar cells
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 type of cell secrets surfactant?
type ii alveolar cells
Lung surfactant is produced by?
type II alveolar cells
What do Type 2 alveolar cells secrete?
secrete surfactant
What cells secrete surfactant that reduces the tendency for pulmonary alveoli to collapse?
Type 2 Alveolar cells
The typical cell making up the alveolar wall is the?
The alveolar sac, also called an alveolus, is lined by cells called type I pneumocytes.
What secretes a fluid containing surfactant in the respiratory system?
type II alveolar cells
What are the most common cells that line the surface of the alveoli and therefore associatedwith the exchange of gases within the lungs?
Type 1 alveolar cells
What is the structure of respiratory membrane?
The respiratory membrane is formed by a combination of the walls of alveoli and walls of capillaries. It consists of type 1 alveolar cells, a basement membrane, capillary endothelium, alveolar epithelium and macrophages.
Wall of alveolar is made of what epithelium?
Simple, squamous epithelium which makes it easy for respiratory gases to diffuse across.
