Air passage among alveoli is collateral and evenly distributed because of the function of which structures?
A)Type I alveolar cells
B)Pores of Kohn
C)Acinus pores
D)Alveolar pores

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tiny passages called pores of Kohn permit some air to pass through the septa from alveolus to alveolus, promoting collateral ventilation and even distribution of air among the alveoli. Type I alveolar cells provide structure to the alveoli. The acinus is the conducting airways that terminate in the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli. Alveolar pores would be the same as the pores of Kohn.
