pubmed:abstractText
The most widely accepted model of human lung alveolar duct systems is that they are constructed from central helical fibres between the turns of which lie alveolar opening. Experimental difficulties of handling and sectioning lung tissue have made it difficult to confirm this. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was therefore used to generate optical serial sections of the lung that were reconstructed in three dimensions and displayed using volume rendering techniques. From images of the reconstructions, a new structure is proposed in which alveolar ducts consist of collections of connected oval, twisted loop structures with eccentric openings.
