Histology - Respiration Images Flashcards

Hyaline cartilage and trachealis mm - patency support

Kulchitsky cells - Amine Precursor Uptake & Decarboxylation (AUPD) - neuroendocrine cells

Smooth muscle, no cartilage, and aveoli. Is a branchiole.

Visceral pleura - Mesothelium (M, simple squamous epithelium) and thin layer of loose connective tissue

Brounchus Associated Lymphatic TIssue - BALT

Phagocytotic cells - dust cells - TEM, c= capillar, e = RBC, m = macrophage

Emphysema - breakdown of interalveolar septum, ‘air trapping’ in large spaces, reduced air exchange.

Pseudostratified Epi, seromucous glands, hyaline cart. NO aveoli, so much be Trachea or Main Bronchus

Congenital Hiatal (diaphragmatic) Hernia - associated with Potter’s Sequence (Oligohydramnios)

Fibroblast - Synthesizes CT ECM

Clara cells (CC, Cl) - dome shaped. Increase as descend branchiolar tree, secrete surfactant, lysozyme, anti-inflammatory ptoreins

Cuboidal epithelial cells - account for 60% of alveolar lining cells - line 5% of alveolar lumen

Lung small cell carcinoma

Opening of alveolar duct (into alveolar sac)

Bronchioles (incl. terminal bronchioles) - Simple cuboidal epithelium, NO goblet cells!

Alveolarstem cells - give rise to type I & II cells

Trachea


Thin Interalveolar Septum and RBC

Smooth muscle in branchioles, incl. terminal branchioles.

normal interalveolar septum

Smooth muscle in 2’ and 3’ bronchi

Endothelial cell injury - sepsis

Pulmonary hypoplasia (left lung) - associated with Congenital Hiatal (diaphragmatic) Hernia

Intrapulmonary Bronchus

TEM - Lamellar bodies - syntheize, store, and secrete surfactant

1 - alveolar sac 2 - respiratory bronchiole 3- alveolar duct 4 - alveolus 5 - terminal bronchiole

Pulmonary burns (fire) - damage entire wall, edema, fluid in alveolar spaces, necrotic cells

Smooth muscle, no cartilage, and aveoli. Is a branchiole.

Macrophage - Phagocytosis, Antigen presentation, inflammatory responses

Alveolar macrophages (M) - black specks

Alveolar duct (black line) and alveolar sacs (AS)

Alveolar Patency - Elastic fibers. Ma = macrophage

Mucociliary escalator - synchronized beating of cilia sweep mucous coat upwards toward pharynx. CC - ciliated cells, GC - goblet cells

Alveolar injury - toxic fumes

Branchiole

Plasma Cell - B lymphocyte derivative - Secretes antibodies - immunoglobulins or Ig molecules

Terminal bronchioles in pseudoglandular period - end 16 weeks. (cuboidal epithelium) Capillaries present (not associated). No respiratory bronchi or alveoli
