AP2 respiratory Flashcards | Quizlet Which of the following are cells of the alveoli that produce surfactant? Macrophages Surface cells Type I alveolar cells Type II alveolar cells Type III alveolar cells
Pulmonary surfactant - Wikipedia Pulmonary surfactant is a surface-active complex of phospholipids and proteins formed by type II alveolar cells [1] The proteins and lipids that make up the surfactant have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions
Alveolar Surface Tension in Lungs and Alveoli | Osmosis Luckily, alveolar cells have found a way to counteract surface tension by producing surfactant, which is a phospholipoprotein that reduces the surface tension, keeping the alveoli open so that we can breathe properly
A4: Respiratory System Flashcards | Quizlet Alveolar surface tension causes the lungs to assume the largest possible diameter Alveolar surface tension is responsible for much of the elastic recoil of the lungs
