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

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

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

29

Loose - dense FECT

32
Q

Muscularis externa structure

A

Hyaline cartilage

33
Q

Adventitia structure

A

Loose FECT

34
Q

Alveoli look like under microscope

A

White spaces

35
Q

Function of type 1 pneumocytes

A

Gas exchange

36

41
Q

Where is surfactant stored

A

Lamellar bodies

42
