respiritory epithelium
respiratory epithelium
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with goblet cells
oropharynx and epiglottis
non-keratinised stratified squamous epithelium
vocal folds and adjacent structures
stratified squamous epithelium
larynx
cartilage and muscles with respiratory epithelium
trachea
cartilage and fibroelastic tissue and smooth muscle
respiratory epithelium
basal lamina
lamina propria of connective tissue and abundant elastic fibres
submucosa of connective tissue that includes seromucous glands
bronchi
irregular plates of cartilage respiratory epithelium lamina propria muscularis with a ring of smooth muscle submucosa with adipose tissue and some seromucous glands
bronchioles
lack cartilage and glands
a few goblet cells
epithelium decreases in height from columnar to cuboidal
lamina propria composed of smooth muscle, elastic and collagenous fibres
terminal bronchioles
cuboidal ciliated epithelium
non ciliated club cells
type 1 alveolar cells
simple squamous epithelium
type 2 alveolar cells
free surface is covered in microvilli, cytoplasm display dense membrane bound lamellar bodies which contain surfactant
alveolar macrophages
dust cells
visceral pleura
outer layer - simple squamous epithelium, mesothelium backed by layers of fibrous and elastic connective tissue
