Influence Of Stellate Ganglion Stimulation On Morphology Of Alveolar Type Ii Cells, Lori Ann Alexander

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This research provides ultrastructural information regarding pulmonary surfactant secretion from stimulation of adrenergic pathways to the lung via the stellate ganglion. This information will help clarify the important role of the sympathetic nervous system in surfactant disorders. It also provides insight into sympathetic mechanisms causing surfactant derangement in adult and infant respiratory distress syndromes (RDS). Basic cellular mechanisms of surfactant metabolism, including synthesis and packaging in lamellar bodies, were studied. Results shed light on these basic processes of lung cell function.

The results of this study provide new avenues for studying a problem in health care that has long resisted …
