Gibney Lung Histology Flashcards
Cell composition of Respiratory Epithelium:
- Pseudostratified:
- 30% goblet cells
- 30% ciliated cells
- 30% basal cells
- 3-5% DNES cells
- Bowman’s glands found in lamina propria.
Label all + type of tissue:
lung
Does the olfactory epithelium contain goblet cells?
No.
What is this an image of?
respiratory bronchiole

Label all + type of tissue:
respiratory epithelium
What glands are found in the lamina propria of respiratory epithelium?
Bowman’s glands
What is this an image of?
- Ventricular fold of larynx:
- Pseudostratified epithelium
- Core of connective tissue
Label all + tissue type:

Respiratory Epithelium
Pseudostratified with cilia and goblet cells
What is this an image of?
- a terminal bronchiole (black) becoming a Respiratory bronchiole (purple)
How can you tell when muscular bronchioles transition to respiratory brochioles?
- Respiratory bronchioles begin when outpockettings occurs.
Key features of muscular bronchioles in comparison to bronchi:
- No cartilage
- Smooth muscle walls
- Clara cells appear
- Goblet cells disappear
Process of emphysema:
- smoking causes macrophage level increase.
- macrophages secrete chemoattractants and proteases to recruit neutrophils.
- neutrophils release elastase.
- elastic fibers in the alveolar walls broken down.
- smoking α1-antitrypsin level decrease.
- elastase levels from neutrophils increase.
- elastic fibers in alveolar wall degraded faster than replaced.

Respiratory Portion of respiratory system function and structures:
- gas exchange
- respiratory Bronchioles
- alveolar ducts and sacs
- alveoli
Structure of Sustentacular cells in olfactory epithelium:
- support cells
- numerous microvilli
What is the black arrow pointing to?
alveolar dust cell
(phagocytic macrophage)
Composition of respiratory epithelium:
- Simple cuboidal epithelium except where thin outpockettings are found (simple squamous epithelium).
