B4-033 Cell Biology/Histology of the Respiratory System Flashcards
mitotically active and produce neuronal cells throughout their life
basal cells
olfactory epithelium
secrete a serous fluid containing OBP which binds to odorants on cilia
olfactory glands
secrete IgA that is transported into the lumen of the olfactory gland
plasma cell
functions as antiseptic paste in olfactory tract
secretory IgA
stem cells of olfactory epithelium
basal cells
supporting cells of olfactory epithelium
sustentacular cells
nasal/oral cavities to terminal bronchioles makes up the […] system
conducting
respiratory bronchioles and alveoli make up the […] system
respiratory
carries oxygenated blood to the walls of the bronchi, arteries, veins, and connective tissue septa
bronchial artery
structure that supports and holds open trachea
c shaped hyaline cartilage rings
in the bronchi, rings of cartilage are replaced by
plates of cartilage
mucous comes from
2 structures
goblet cells
submucosal glands
process by which cilia move mucous up and out of the respiratory system
mucociliary escalator
in the bronchiole, smooth muscle fibers are oriented
concentrically
in the bronchiole, elastic fibers are oriented
longitudinally
terminal bronchiole
as the number of goblet cell decreases, […..] cells appear in the epithelial layer
nonciliated Clara cells
club cells
secrete surfactant material that coats the bronchiolar epithelium
club/clara cells
