Q
Five layers of tracheabronchole tree
A
Mucosa
muscularis
submucosa
cartilage
adventitia
2
Q
Epithelium and Lamina Protpria
A
Epi: promarily barrier but also filters and humidifies
LP richly valcularized Loose CT, warms air and defends host
3
Q
muscularis
A
smooth muscle, controls air flow
4
Q
submucosa
A
valcularized DENSE irregular CT
- pronounced when glands are present in it
- these are seromucosa glands- secretions into lumen to moisten air, trap partilces
appears clear
5
Q
cartilage layer
A
Hyaline cartilage
- can be half rings or small plates
- surrounded by dense CT (perichondrium) which adheres to adjacent structures
-structural support during exhalation
appears with obvious clear cells
6
Q
Adventitia
A
dense CT: collagen /elastic fibers bind airways to surrounding organs
-stabilise position of tree
limin overstretching during inhalation
