Alveolus
Definition:
(n.) A cell in a honeycomb.
(n.) A small cavity in a coral, shell, or fossil
(n.) A small depression, sac, or vesicle, as the socket of a tooth, the air cells of the lungs, the ultimate saccules of glands, etc.
Example Sentences:

(2) Unilateral clefts of lip, alveolus, and palate with a partial cleft lip reveal worse malformations than complete unilateral clefts.
(3) These findings collectively indicated that the three antigens all have a physiological significance as stage-specific developmental antigens of the human lung; those antigens were specifically present in the bud cells at each important step of the morphogenesis of the human lung, such as cells in the lung buds, bronchial buds, and terminal buds for the formation of the alveolus, and cells differentiating into bronchial gland cells.
(4) Considering the functional anatomy of the lung parenchyma the pathomorphological response pattern of the alveolus has been described.

(6) Only children who had both supernumerary teeth and congenitally missing teeth outside the area of the cleft alveolus were included.
(7) These data provide compelling evidence that the physical state of phosphatidylcholine can regulate surfactant secretion from alveolar type II cells and suggest a unique mechanism for regulating exocytosis in the alveolus of the lung.
(8) Since the arithmetic mean thickness of the tissue layers and of the air-blood barrier are the same in the two altitudinal groups, the average alveolus must have a smaller volume in the high-altitude mice.
(9) Our findings suggest that a membrane signal on AM is capable of inhibiting receptor-mediated signal transduction in lymphocytes and that this is likely a major mechanism by which immune responses are downregulated in the alveolus.
