25 Respiratory Flashcards
ENTRANCE of nasal cavities which is lined with STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS KERATINIZED (skin) and then eventually is non-keratinized (inner regions)
Nasal Vestibule
this type of mucosa is PSEUDOSTRATIFIED Cilated epithelium with goblet cells and ciliated cells
RESPIRATORY Mucosa
this type of mucosa is apart of the roof of superior conchae
specialized pseudostratified epithelium and bipolar neurons
NONMOTILE CILIA
has bowmans glands = secreting serous fluid to flush and moisturize epithelium
Fila Olfactoria
OLFACTORY MUCOSA
this is a cilia propelled mucocilary blanket towards the pharynx where secretions are swallowed or expectorated as sputum
MUCOCILIARY ESCALATOR
olfactory receptor cells are also known as
BIPOLAR NEURONS
unlike the respiratory system, the OLFACTORY EPITHELIUM has NO
GOBLET CELLS or MOTILE CILIA
this serous gland produces a constant flow of fluid that cleanses the surface
BOWMANS glands
The nasopharynx, larynx, trachea and bronchi are LINED by
RESPIRATORY MUCOSA
The larynx contains
vocal cords which are lined by NON keratinzed stratified squamous
Whats the difference between trachea and bronchi regarding the cartilage rings
Trachea – c shaped hyaline cartilage rings
Bronchi – INCOMPLETE cartilage rings and plates ISOLATED PIECES
The bronchioles are lined by
simple columnar and cuboidal epithelium
these cells have a NON-CILIATED DOME SHAPED SURFACE
function as STEM CELLS – add proteins to surfactant and metabolize some toxins
these cells are UNIQUE TO BROCHIOLES
CLUB (CLARA) cells
Type 1 ALVEOLAR cells are identified as
Make up the epithelium if ALVEOLI
THIN SIMPLE SQUAMOUS cells
TYPE 2 AVEOLAR CELLS are identified as
PLUMP CUBIODAL CELLS which secretes surgactant (phospholipids)
RESPIRATORY AIRWAY flow =
RESPIRATORY BRONCHIOLE –> ALVEOLAR DUCT –> ALVEOLAR SAC
