Q

Quantity of cartilage as we get to alveoli

A

Decrease in cartilage as getting to alveoli –> increase in smooth muscle
Decrease in cartilage –> decrease in goblet cells

Q

Name of olfactory glands

A

Bowmnan’s glands

19
Q

Epithelium of larynx

A

Stratified squamous epithelium

20
Q

What is at middle of larynx

A

Elastic cartilage

21
Q

Esternal to internal layers trachea

A

Adventitia - cartilaginous layer - submucosa - mucosa

22
Q

Submucosa of trachea contains

A

Tubuloacinar glands, seromucous glands

23
Q

Difference between bronchi (the main bifurcations of trachea) and trachea

A

Brinchi have plates rather than rings of cartilage + have a layer of smooth muscle between lamina propria and submucosa

24
Q

Number of glands and goblet cells increases or decreases as getting to alveoli

A

Decreases

25
Q

Epithelium in large bronchioles

A

Pseudostratified ciliated columnar

26
Q

Epithelium in terminal bronchioles

A

Simple cuboidal w/ mixed ciliated cells

27
Q

What lacks terminal bronchioles

A

Goblet cells

28
Q

Is there cartilage and glands in bronchioles

A

NO

29
Q

32
Q

Muscularis externa structure

A

Hyaline cartilage

33
Q

Adventitia structure

A

Loose FECT

34
Q

Alveoli look like under microscope

A
