This cell type also contributes to tissue repair and can differentiate after injury into a type I pneumocyte. Thicker than squamous alveolar cells, have a rounded apical surface that projects above the level of surrounding epithelium. The free surface is covered by short microvilli. type II alveolar epithelial cell type 2 alveolar epithelial cell type 2 alveolocyte great alveolar cell type II alveolocyte TII lung type II cell ATII BTO:0000538 AT2 2010-06-24T12:04:13Z type 2 pneumocyte type II alveolar cell granular pneumocyte cuboidal type II cell CT Homo sapiens sequence collection respiratory tract respiratory system lower respiratory tract lung pulmonary alveolar duct terminal bronchiole respiratory bronchiole alveolus of lung pulmonary alveolar parenchyma pulmonary acinus secondary pulmonary lobule
