Abstract
Surfactant is released from alveolar type II cells into a hypophase where it modifies surface tension and stabilizes alveoli. It is then taken back into the type II cell and reutilized. Although many secretagogues are suggested, the major release stimulus is probably distrotion of the type II cell.
