Which type of cell is incorrectly associated with the secretion of proteoglycans?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which type of cell is not correctly linked to the secretion of proteoglycans. It implies that the four options provided are types of cells, and the correct answer will be the one that does not typically secrete proteoglycans.
Answer
Alveolar type II cells are incorrectly associated with proteoglycan secretion.
Alveolar type II cells are incorrectly associated with the secretion of proteoglycans.
Answer for screen readers
Alveolar type II cells are incorrectly associated with the secretion of proteoglycans.
More Information
Generally, alveolar type II cells are known for secreting surfactant, a crucial substance for lung function, rather than primarily secreting proteoglycans.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming that all cell types known for secretions are also major sources of proteoglycan secretion.
