Areas of insertion of alveolar septa into connective tissue sheaths surrounding extraalveolar structures such as pulmonary arteries, veins, and conducting airways were examined in healthy rabbit lungs. Electron micrographs show that at this location, interstitial cells of the alveolar wall spread out ...
