Histology RS Flashcards
respiratory organ (2)
lungs and branching system of bronchial tubes
anatomic division of RS:
URT & LRT
FUNCTIONAL DIVISION OF RS
conductive and respiratory potion
URT: 4
frontal sinus
sphenoidal sinus
nasal cavity
pharynx
LRT: 4
larynx
trachea
bronchi
lungs
conductive portion of RS:
nasal cavity >
nasopharynx >
larynx >
trachea >
primary bronchi (extrapulmonary bronchi) > intrapulmonary bronchi (2ry or lobar»_space; 3ry or segmental bronchi) >
primary bronchioles (preterminal) >
terminal bronchioles (terminate conducting portion)
respiratory portion:
respiratory bronchioles >
alveolar ducts >
alveolar sacs >
pulmonary alveoli
olfactory region of nasal cavity:
2 main part
olfactory epithelium
&
lamina propria
olfactory epithelium:
type of epithelium
psudo-stratified columner epithelium with NO goblet cells
olfactory epithelium component:
1- olfactory cells (olfactory nerve cells)»_space; smelling
2- sustentacular cells
3- basal cells
olfactory nerve cells features:
bipolar neurons
dendritic has olfactory vesicle
olfactory vesicle has non motilecilia
which part responsible for smelling?
olfactory neve cells (non motile cilia)
sustentacular cells function (2) and shape:
columnar cells,
1- physical support
2- nourishment
Basal cell in olfactory epithelium shape and function:
Pyramidal
Stem cell
Olfactory hair another name:
Non motile cilia on the olfactory vesicles
Lamina propria of olfactory epithelium component:
1- highly vascularized CT
2- olfactory gland (bowman gland)
3- bundles of unmyelinated nerve fiber (axons of olfactory nerve cells)
4- lymphoid elements
function of
1- Bowman capsule
2- lamina propria role in nerve organization
1- replace goblet cells»_space; serous acini
2- in lamina propria axons will collect to form bundles of nerve fiber »_space; bundles will collect to form the olfactory nerve
