pulmonary alveolus

Pulmonary alveolus for a discussion of gas pressure in the lung.

These are also called pulmonary alveoli.

Its anticholinergic properties can theoretically relax the pulmonary alveoli and reduce phlegm production.

Crocodilians have lungs with Pulmonary alveolus.

Alveolar sacs are made up of clusters of Pulmonary alveolus, like individual grapes within a bunch.

But Biosyn modified the rabies virus to cross the pulmonary alveoli; you could get an infection just inhaling it.

Upon inhalation, gas exchange occurs at the pulmonary alveolus, the tiny sacs which are the basic functional component of the lungs.

Gas exchange occurs in the pulmonary alveoli by passive diffusion of gases between the alveolar gas and the blood in lung capillaries.

TB infection begins when the mycobacteria reach the pulmonary alveoli, where they invade and replicate within endosomes of alveolar macrophages.

An alveolar macrophage (or dust cell) is a type of macrophage found in the pulmonary alveolus, near the pneumocytes, but separated from the wall.

These conidia emerge from dormancy and make a morphological switch to hyphae by germinating in the warm, moist, nutrient-rich environment of the pulmonary alveoli.

Airway resistance, a concept used in respiratory physiology to describe mechanical factors which limit the access of inspired air to the pulmonary alveoli, and thus determine airflow.

With insufficient pulmonary surfactant, the pulmonary alveoli collapse, causing atelectasis (in infants, infant respiratory distress syndrome)

Corpora amylacea, also known as prostatic concretions, are small hyaline masses of unknown significance found in the prostate gland, neuroglia, and pulmonary alveoli.

Multiple perforations in a septum may reduce it to a collection of trabecula, as happens to the walls of some of the pulmonary alveoli in emphysema.

There is an increased gradient between the partial pressure of oxygen in the pulmonary alveoli and adjacent arteries (alveolar-arterial [A-a] gradient) while breathing room air.

TLR-2 is also found in the epithelia of air passages, pulmonary alveoli, renal tubules, and the Bowman's capsules in renal corpuscles.

Its high toxicity arises from the action of the phosgene on the proteins in the pulmonary alveoli, the site of gas exchange: their damage disrupts the blood-air barrier, causing suffocation.

When the bacilli reach the pulmonary alveoli, they are ingested by alveolar macrophages while other surviving tubercle bacilli multiply within the macrophage and eventually undergo hematogenous spread to other areas of the host body.

The partial pressure of oxygen (pO) in the pulmonary alveoli is required to calculate both the alveolar-arterial gradient of oxygen and the amount of right-to-left cardiac shunt, which are both clinically useful quantities.

Found in the lung parenchyma, the pulmonary alveoli are the terminal ends of the respiratory tree, which outcrop from either alveolar sacs or alveolar ducts, which are both sites of gas exchange with the blood as well.

It is believed to be a type II hypersensitivity-like autoimmune reaction to Goodpasture's antigens on the basement membrane of the glomerulus of the kidneys and the pulmonary alveolus, specifically the non-collagenous domain of the alpha-3 chain of Type IV collagen.

Once there, they burrow through the pulmonary alveoli and travel up the trachea, where they are swallowed and are carried to the small intestine, where they mature into adults and reproduce by attaching themselves to the intestinal wall, causing an increase of blood loss by the host.
