Alveolar tip; Elastoblast |
| Description |
Electron microscopy. The lung tip is covered by a flattened alveolar cell type I (↓1) and a similar neighboring bulging one with nucleus (2). In the alveolar tip amorph elastin (5) appears more electron-dense than the collagen fibers (Col) and is interwoven with it. Small foci of calcifications are found common in ageing lungs (4). (3) indicates an elastoblast (or interstitial myofibroblast) in close association with the surrounding elastin. |
