Overview
Pathophysiology
Normal lung tissue
- Lungs are composed normally of extracellular collagen which allows the lungs to exert their breathing efforts.
- Different collagen types in the lung include the following:[1]
- Type 1 and type 3 compose most of the lung tissue
- Type 2 is the main component of the cartilage of the main bronchi
- Type 4 forms the basement membrane
- Type 5 forms the interstitial tissue
