Histology and pathology of lung diseases Flashcards
properties of right bronchus
more vertically oriented
more frequent aspiration site
arteries follow –
airways
T/F: infarctions are common
false
normal epithelium of the upper respiratory tract and large airways
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
most common cell type in pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
ciliated cells
cell types in pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
ciliated, secretory, and those that don’t reach luminal surface
secretory cells of pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
mucous (goblet) and club (Clara) cells
cells that don’t reach luminal surface
basal (stem), Kulchitsky, and serous cells
Most common secretory cell
mucous (goblet)
Most common secretory cells in terminal and respiratory bronchioles
club (Clara) cells
function of club cells
secretes proteins that protect the bronchiolar lining
function of Kulchitsky cell
secretes peptide hormones (especially serotonin) to regulate vascular tone
where are serous cells located?
submucosal glands
function of serous cells
secrete bactericidal proteins
what is in the bronchus?
cartilage and submucosal glands
can the bronchus collapse?
no
Can the bronchiole collapse?
yes
usually the bronchiole is the same size as the –
pulmonary artery
T/F: type 1 pneumocyte are flat cells that is a minor lining cell but covers about 97% of alveolar surface
true
type 2 pneumocyte cover – of alveolar surface
3%
what is the alveolar reserve cell
pneumocyte type 2
T/F: lymphatic channels and stromal cells are scarce
true
type 2 alveolar cells are – of epithelial cells
60%
which cells can divide during repair?
type 2
can type 1 flat cells divide?
no
which type of lung disease is more common?
obstuctive
obstructive pulmonary disease can be determined by –
pulmonary function test
obstructive disease is due to –
airway narrowing (structural) or loss of elastic recoil (functional)
who usually has asthma?
children to young adults
