KROK 1 2015 – Question 84 · KROK (Medicine) · Histology, Cytology, and Embryology
Alveolar space of acinus was invaded by bacteria that interacted with the surfactant. This led to the activation of the cells that are localized in the alveolar walls and on the surface. Name these cells:
- A. Alveolocytes type I
- B. Endothelial cells
- C. Alveolocytes type II
- D. Clara cells
- E. Alveolar macrophages
Hint
Think about which cell near the alveolar surface detects microbes in the air spaces and responds to surfactant-coated bacteria.
