Who Am I? Match the descriptions with the appropriate structure. I prevent alveoli from collapsing by decreasing surface tension. I am very thin, allowing gases to diffuse easily across my surface. I crawl through alveoli, consuming any debris or microbes that I encounter. a. alveolar macrophage b. surfactant-secreting cell c. simple squamous epithelium Label the structures found in an alveolus with the appropriate letter. a. Surfactant-secreting cell b. Simple squamous epithelium c. Alveolar macrophage
