The lungs and arteries have a layer of elastic connective tissue that allows the stretch and recoil of these organs.
What connective tissue is in the lungs?
Of the factors that contribute to the pressure-volume behavior of lungs, the connective tissues of lung, primarily collagen and elastin, have long been known to be an important determinant. However, the surface tension of the liquid film of surfactant lining the alveoli also exerts an effect.
Which of the following epithelial tissues is found in alveoli of lungs?
Epithelial Tissue CellsCellsLocationsSimple squamous epitheliumAir sacs of the lungs and the lining of the heart, blood vessels and lymphatic vesselsSimple cuboidal epitheliumIn ducts and secretory portions of small glands and in kidney tubules
