The surfactant is produced by great alveolar cells (granular pneumonocytes, a cuboidal epithelia), which are the most numerous cells in the alveoli, yet do not cover as much surface area as the squamous alveolar cells (a squamous epithelium<span>).

Answer:

Cuboidal cells are thicker than squamous cells. Cuboidal cells are usually where a function of absorption or secretion is need.

Squamous cells are usually laid in a single layer making the layer thin. This is useful because this type of arrangement allows for diffusion to happen and its used where diffusion is the main type of transport. Remember that the rate of diffusion slows down with distance. In the lungs gas exchange needs to happen very fast to keep a constant supply of oxygen to the lungs. Cuboidal cells would be too thick.

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

No it is not a scientific theory.

Explanation:

An explanation of any aspect of the natural phenomenon of the world that can be tested several times and well supported by the evidence, and follows the scientific method. Furthermore known as scientific theory.

Presently, a logical hypothesis must meet a few rules, and one of those is that it must be upheld by a few (and free) strands of proof.  

For this situation, we have just one hypothesis, that bulldogs are great pet and Meatball is great among bulldogs, and it isn't sufficient, at that point it can not be a scientific theory.
