38
Q

What are the major parts of the lining of the trachea? (Iayers)

A

composed of concentric rings of mucosa, submucosa, an incomplete muscularis, and a complete adventitia

39
Q

Mucosa of the trachea have what components?

A

a pseudostratified epithelium, an underlying vascularized loose connective tissue (lamina propria) that contains immune cells, and a thin layer of smooth muscle cells (muscularis mucosa)

40
Q

Describe the submucosa of the trachea?

A

vascular surface area containing large blood vessels. Collagen fibers, lymphatic vessels and nerves

41
Q

Describe the adventitia of the trachea?

A

outside covering composed of several layers of loose connective tissue

42
Q

Describe pseudostratified columnar epithelium.

A

all cells lie on the same basal membrane but only some reach the luminal surface

43
Q

Where is the only other place in the body with pseudostratified columnar epithelium?

A

the male reproductive tract

44
Q

The action of cilia moving dust and particles from the respiratory system up and out to be swallowed is called what?

A

mucosciliary escalator system

45
Q

What are PNE cells? What does it stand for?

A

Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Cells; they are comparable to the endocrine cells in the gut

46
Q

What are other names for PNE cells?

A
  • APUD cells (amino precursor uptake decarboxylase)
  • DNES cells (Diffuse Neuro Endocrine System)
  • K (Kulchitsky) cells
47
Q

Where are Kultchitsky cells found?

A

they occur in clusters and are often located at airway branch points

48
Q

What are brush cells of the lungs?

A

may represent goblet cells that have secreted their product or intermediate stages in the formation of goblet or the tall ciliated cells

49
Q

What are basal cells of the lungs?

A

stem cells for the ciliated goblet cells
