Alveolar cell. Coloured transmission electron micrographs (TEMs) of sections through part of a type II alveolar cell from an old guinea pig (Cavia porcellus),showing (from left to right) intracisternal bodies; ribosomes; lamellar bodies; nucleus and perinuclear space. This cell is found in the alveoli (air sacs) of the lungs. It secretes surfactant,a substance that reduces surface tension in the air sac and prevents it from collapsing | |
