Respiratory System

Question 7 - Single Best Answer

This slide comes from a patient who had emphysema and heart failure. Identify the cell and its contents at the tip of the arrow:

A) type II pneumocyte; surfactant

Sorry...
Although the nucleus of a type II pneumocyte would bulge out into the air space, the entire cell would not be separated from the alveolar epithelium as is the dust cell.
