Answer:

Two types are pneumocytes known as type I and type II cells found in the alveolar wall, and a large phagocytic cell known as an alveolar macrophage that moves about in the lumens of the alveoli, and in the connective tissue between them. Type I cells are squamous, thin and flat and form the structure of the alveoli.
