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.
Aâfree mononuclear cell of the lower respiratory tract, which has a high phagocytic capacity and is responsible for clearing inhaled particles and lung surfactant. Alveolar macrophages (AMss, are transiently attached by pseudopodia to the surface of alveolar epithelium.
