Histology I Oct4 M1 Flashcards
general plan of resp system
- mucosa (epith layer + LP)
- submucosa (muscle, glands, cartilage)
- aventitia
lamina propria characteristics
loose CT, cellular, few fibers, some elastic fibers
submucosa characteristics
dense irregular CT, more fibers, collagen
adventitia characteristics and function
dense irregular CT. connects with adventitia of other organs around
epithelium name and charac in resp
respiratory epith.
- pseudostratified columnar ciliated
- goblet cells
what portion of resp conducting system contain a lot of elastic fibers in submucosa
trachea, bronchi, bronchioles
two types of cartilage and location
elastic (larynx), hyaline (nasal septum, trachea and downwards)
serous vs mucous gland histo
mucous don’t stain well on H and E bc lot of glycoprot
5 cell type in resp epith.
- ciliated cells
- goblet cells
- brush cells
- small granule cell or argentaffin cell or DNES cells
- short cells
brush cells charact
only on EM. might be sensory
argentaffin cells charact
contain granules, only silver nitrate stain, secrete serotonin and epinephrine basally to regul capillaries in LP
short cells charact
stem cells, cause of problems in trchea and bronchi
resp epith lower vs upper nuclei rows
upper row: ciliated, goblet cells, brush cells
lower row: argentaffin and short cells
cilia axoneme structure
nine pairs of mtbs + central pair
axoneme peripheral mtb pairs vs central pair
peripheral: 10 + 13 filaments form mtb
central: 13 + 13 filaments form mtb
