Type I alveolar cells; Elastin-associated proteins |
| Description |
Electron microscopy. The alveolar tip in the alveolar spaces (Alv) is covered with flattened type I alveolar cells (2). The arrows at (↓1) indicate the junctions between these flattened cells. The amorph elastin (*) in the alveolar tip appears more electron-dense than the collagen fibers (Col). Note the characteristic dark dots and bundles of microfibrils (3) (among others fibrillin) associated with elastin. |
