The following structures are labelled:

  • Alveolar lumina (Al)
  • Capillary lumina (C)
  • Red blood cells (red arrows)
  • Blood platelets (green arrowhead)
  • Nucleus of one alveolar type II cell (II)
  • Nuclei of two endothelial cells (En)

As in Figure 10.25, this image emphasizes the thinness of the wall (blue arrow) separating the air space of the alveolar lumen and the blood space of the capillaries.
