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.
Abstract. Asthma is a complex disease of the lungs, which is characterized by airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Alveolar 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.mong inflammatory cells, macrophages are the most abundant leukocytes found in alveoli, distal airspaces, and conducting airways, suggesting that they have an important role in providing protection against foreign pathogens at the interface of the external environment and the alveolar tissue.
