Histology Flashcards
role of goblet cells
- secrete granules of mucinogen droplets onto epithelial surface to trap inhaled particles
how would you know you were in the adventitia
- you would see a lot of hyaline cartilage
how would you know you were in the submucosa
- see glands and vessels
composition of mucosa layer
- epithlium and lamina propria
epithelium in the trachea
- psuedostratified ciliated columnar
does the trachea have ciliated cells
yes
does the trachea have goblet cells
- yes
if you see cartilage, what kind of structure is it
- bronchus
if you don’t see cartilage, what kind of structure is it
- bronchiole
epithelial of bronchi
- pseudostratified ciliated epithelium
do bronchi have goblet cells?
- yes
does the trachea have smooth muscle?
- yes, the trachaelis muscle
how can you tell where a bronchus transitions to a primary bronchiole
- look for the point where there is no cartilage
what is this
how do you know?

respiratory bronchiole
tract of noncilated club cells and gas exchange epithelium
what is this?

- true bronchiole
what is this?

- terminal bronchiole
epithelium in terminal bronchiole
- simple cilated columnar changing to simple cuboidal
role of Clara cells
- divide, secrete GAGs, metabolize airborne toxins
what is this

respiratory bronchiole
epithelium of respiratory bronchiole
- simple cuboidal
nucleus of type I pneumocyte
- cigar-shaped
how can you tell the type II pneumocytes
- look for bubbly surfactant
- look where 3 alveoli come together
how can you tell a capillary
- look for an open hole with a blood cell in it
- nucleus pushed off to one side
what are the cell located at the basement membrane or near the lamina propria
- basal/short cells
