I was looking over some review and found this...
The alveoli bring RBCs into close proximity with inspired air. Type I pneumocytes (blue) are the squamous cells that form a component of the air-blood barrier. The cuboidal Type II pneumocytes (green) secrete surfactant that reduces surface tension and prevents atelectasis.
Bar = 30 Microns
Another one...
=) We all know the fuction of each one, but some question can be tricky on the image =) so i was reviewing these picture... =) Hope it helps...
