Olfactory mucosa lines the roof and portions of the walls of the nasal cavity.
It contains several cell types: basal cells, brush cells, olfactory cells and sustentacular cells.
Basal cells are located in the basal lamina.
Brush cells are involved with general sensation of the olfactory mucosa.
Olfactory cells are bipolar neurons that are the receptors for smell.
Sustentacular cells are supporting cells.

c. Alveolar sac
d. Respiratory bronchiole
e. Terminal bronchiole
b. Alveoli
Conducting Airways (Trachea, Bronchi, Terminal Bronchioles)
->
Respiratory Unit (Respiratory Bronchioles, Alveolar duct, Alveolar sac, Alveoli)
The respiratory tract is made of branching structures, much like the branches of a tree.
The trachea branches into two bronchi which branch into smaller bronchi.
The bronchi ultimately branch into smaller bronchioles.
Bronchioles are distinguished from bronchi in that they do not have cartilage and submucosal glands.
The terminal bronchioles are the last part of the airway in which gas exchange does not occur.
Terminal bronchioles lead to the respiratory bronchioles.
The respiratory bronchioles are the first section of the respiratory tree that gas exchange can occur.
The alveoli duct is analogous to a thoroughfare with many cul-du-sacs branching off of it.
At the end of the alveoli duct is an alveoli sac.
An alveoli sac is a cluster of alveoli, much like a cluster of grapes.
Alveoli are individual sacs where gas exchange occurs.
7.
What type of epithelium lines the trachea?
a. Simple squamous epithelium
b. Simple cuboidal epithelium
c. Simple columnar epithelium
d. Stratified squamous epithelium
e. Pseudostratified epithelium
e. Pseudostratified epithelium
The trachea is lined by pseudostratified columnar epithelium w/ goblet cell (Respiratory Epithelium)
Epithelium lines body cavities and surfaces.
Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is “pseudostratified” because it is only one cell layer thick, yet it appears to be stratified. In reality, every cell touches the basement membrane.
The prefix “pseudo” is of Greek origin and it means false or counterfeit. For example: pseudonym, pseudo-science or pseudostratified.
8.
Which structure is part of the conducting portion of the airway?
a. Bronchi
b. Alveolar ducts
c. Alveoli
d. Alveolar sacs
e. Respiratory bronchioles
a. Bronchi
Conducting Airways (Trachea, Bronchi, Terminal Bronchioles)
->
Respiratory Unit (Respiratory Bronchioles, Alveolar duct, Alveolar sac, Alveoli)
The conducting portion of the airway is where air is moved, warmed and moistened.
The nasal cavities, pharynx, larynx, trachea and bronchi are all part of the conducting portion of the airway.
The respiratory portion of the airway is where gas exchange occurs.
The respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs and alveoli are all part of the respiratory portion.
9.
What type of epithelium lines the vestibule?
a. Simple squamous epithelium
b. Simple columnar epithelium
c. Stratified squamous epithelium
d. Ciliated pseudostratified epithelium with goblet cells
e. Transitional epithelium
c. Stratified squamous epithelium
The vestibule is lined by stratified squamous epithelium.
10.
Which cartilage of the larynx is made of hyaline cartilage?
a. Thyroid cartilage
b. Cricoid cartilage
c. Arytenoid cartilage
d. Corniculate cartilage
e. All of the above
e. All of the above
The larynx is composed of several cartilages.
The thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage, arytenoid cartilages, corniculate cartilages and cuneiform cartilages are all composed of hyaline cartilage.
The epiglottis is elastic cartilage.
There is no fibrocartilage in the larynx.
