That is correct. Alveoli only contain only two types of cells: Type I cells that are like thin sheets and make up the actually wall of the alveoli, and Type II cells that secrete a substance called surfactant that helps to hold the alveoli open. There can also be some macrophages present in the alveoli to destroy invading bacteria.

Does the alveoli have smooth muscle?

What are the major tissues of the gallbladder?
The major tissues of the gallbladder include the mucosa (inner lining), muscularis (smooth muscle layer), and serosa (outer covering). The mucosa contains absorptive cells, mucous-secreting cells, and glands. The muscularis layer contracts to facilitate the release of bile into the small intestine.
What are the bronchial walls made up of?
The bronchial walls are made up of cartilage, smooth muscle, connective tissue, and mucous-secreting cells. These components work together to provide structure, support, and regulation of airflow in the respiratory system.
What is a skeletal muscle covered with a mucous membrane?
There is no skeletal muscle that is covered with a mucous membrane. Skeletal muscles are typically covered with connective tissue known as the epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium, which provide protection and support for the muscle fibers. Mucous membranes are typically found lining organs in the respiratory, digestive, and urinary systems to provide protection and help with absorption.
What type of muscle is an ulcer?
An ulcer is not a type of muscle. It is an open sore on a mucous membrane like the stomach wall or on the skin.
Is muscle a cell or an organ?

You do not have any such cubes in your respiratory system.
Which muscle curls the tongue in a human?
The superior longitudinal muscle, an intrinsic muscle that originates within the tongue allows the tongue to curl. It runs along the superior surface of the tongue under the mucous membrane.
What muscle flexes the elbow but neither originates nor inserts on the humerus?
