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 produces surfactant?
type II alveolar cells
What are the Layers of the respiratory membrane?
Squamous epithelial lining of alveolus Endothelial cells lining an adjuacent capillary Fused basal laminae between alveolar and endothelial cells
Where are chlorophyll molecules located within plant cells?
chlorophyll molecules are located in the thylakoid membrane
Where in cells are insulin receptors located?
plasma membrane
The respiratory membrane consists of what cells?
Alveolar squamous cells and Capillary endothelial cells.
Where the cleanup cells are located?
cytoplasm
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.

The respiratory membrane is a combination of?
alveolar and capillary walls and their fused basement membranes
Where are cell membrane located in cells that do have cell walls?
In cells that do not have cell walls, the cell membrane is located on the outer side of the cell, and is made of a phospholipid bilayer.
Where are chlorophyll molecules located within plant cells?
chlorophyll molecules are located in the thylakoid membrane
What is the respiratory membrane made of?
The Respiratory membrane: The wall of the alveoli are composed primarily of a single layer of squamous epithelial cells, called type I cells, surrounded by a flimsy basement membrane. See page 815 anatomy and physiology 8th
Where in cells are insulin receptors located?
plasma membrane
What is alveolar macrophages also known as?
Alveolar macrophages, aka DUST CELLS.
