function of alveolar macrophagesThe function of alveolar macrophage in the lungs is to remove dust particles and other debris from alveolar spaces.-Sheshi Aveolar macrophages work to break up surfactanct in the aveoli which exists to decrease surface tension in the lungs. If there is a disorder where the macrophage does not function correctly, such as in PAP, the surfactant will not be broken up and decreased ventilation will occur resulting in less oxygen delivery.
Lung Macrophages and Asthma. Mainly, three classes of macrophages are identified in the lung tissue: bronchial macrophages (BMs), alveolar macrophages (AMs), and interstitial macrophages (IMs). BMs are isolated from induced sputum, while AMs are found in alveoli lumen, presiding a nonspecific innate defense mechanism.lveolar macrophages (AMs), one of the prominent immune system cells found in the airways, have been implicated in the development and progression of asthma. AMs constitute a unique subset of pulmonary macrophages, which serve as a first line of defense against foreign invaders to the lung tissue.
