14 Respiratory Histo Flashcards
Nasal histo
Epithelium with pseudostratified columnar epithelium with cilia and goblet cells
Lamina propria with seromucous glands and venous plexus
Mucosa
- Immunologic and physical barrier
- secretory
- Selective absorbance
Cosnsists of Epithelium and laminapropria
Respiratory epithelium cells
Columnar- absorptive and mucociliary elevator Goblet- secretion Basal-progenitors Small granule- protein secretion Brush-
Olfactory epithelium
Olfactory cells
Supporting cells
Basal Cells-progenitors
Brush Cells
Bowmans glands in lamina propria to wash oror receptors
Nasopharynx epthelium
Similar to respiratory epithelium, but has lymphocytes below
Vocal cord epithelium
Non keritinized stratified squamous- resistant to air abrasion-
Thinner upper layer of lamina propria allows motion of vibration
Epiglotis histo and epithelium
Luminal- stratified squamous
Respiratory side- respiratory epithelium
Mixed glands in larynx, elastic cartilage
Tracheal histo
Mucosa plus submucosa of glands.
Tracheal hyaline cartilagenous rings
Posterior has smooth muscle connecting c shaped rings (trachealis m. contracts while coughing)
Bronchi histo
repiratory mucosa
submucosa
cartilage pplates
Bronchiole histo
Respiratorry epithelium
smooth muscle support
Clara cells replacing columnar- Secreting surfactant like supbstance
Conducting Airway conditions
Chronic bronchitis
CF
Bronchial carcinoma
Asthma
Asthma
affects bronchioles
constriction of smooth muscle narrowing lumen
Frrequenly decreased clara cells resulting in decreased surfactant type substance
Respiratory passages
Respiratory bronchioles
Albeolar ducts
Alveolar sacs
Pulmonary lobule
Terrminal bronchiole and all of the lung tissue it supplies
Pulmonary Acinus
ung supplied by respiratory bronchiole
