What type of disease is pneumonia?
Pneumonia is an abnormal inflammatory condition of the lung. It is often characterized as including inflammation of the parenchyma of the lung (that is, the alveoli) and abnormal alveolar filling with fluid (consolidation and exudation) The alveoli are microscopic air-filled sacs in the lungs responsible for absorbing oxygen. Pneumonia can result from a variety of causes, including infection with bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, and chemical or physical injury to the lungs. Its cause may also be officially described as idiopathic-that is, unknown-when infectious causes have been excluded. Typical symptoms associated with pneumonia include cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty in breathing. Diagnostic tools include x-rays and examination of the sputum. Treatment depends on the cause of pneumonia; bacterial pneumonia is treated with antibiotics. Pneumonia is a common illness which occurs in all age groups, and is a leading cause of death among the elderly and people who are chronically and terminally ill. Additionally, it is the leading cause of death in children under five years old worldwide Vaccines to prevent certain types of pneumonia are available. The prognosis depends on the type of pneumonia, the appropriate treatment, any complications, and the person's underlying health. The mortality rate of the primary viral pneumonia form is about 70%
What type of cell secrets surfactant?
type ii alveolar cells
Which type of pneumonia is also known as mycoplasma pneumonia?
walking pneumonia
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.
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.
Lung surfactant is produced by?
type II alveolar cells
What is M. pneumoniae also called?
This type of pneumonia is also called atypical pneumonia, walking pneumonia, or community-acquired pneumonia
What type of microbe is pneumonia?
Pneumonia is caused by many microbes. You can get the virus, bacteria or fungi-caused pneumonia.

Pneumonia is a respitory disease.
Mammary glands exhibit a glandular type called?
compound alveolar
