Lung - Vacuolization, Cytoplasmic

    Narrative
    Lung, Bronchiole - Vacuolization, Cytoplasmic in a female B6C3F1/N mouse from a chronic study. The bronchiolar epithelial cells have vacuolated cytoplasm.
    Lung, Bronchiole - Vacuolization, Cytoplasmic in a female B6C3F1/N mouse from a chronic study (higher magnification of Figure 1). Most of the cells have also lost their cilia.
    Lung, Bronchiole - Vacuolization, Cytoplasmic in a female B6C3F1/N mouse from a chronic study. The bronchiolar epithelial cells contain clear, intracytoplasmic vacuoles.
