Lecture 14 Respiratory System Flashcards
Mucosa.
Submucosa
Support
Adventitia
What tissues has all these layers
Trachea/Bronchi
What tissues have all these layers
Bronchioles
Alveoi
What is this
Esophagus
Trachealis Muscle
Trachea
trachea features
Largest diameter part of conducting portion C-shaped hyaline cartilage rings provide support
Cartilage ends are bridged by smooth muscle (trachealis)
Trachealis relaxes during swallowing, contracts during coughing to narrow lumen
What is this
Trachea can tell with teh most layers, adventitia not showen.
Two soruces of mucus in thachea… Respirtory Epithulum and Seromucosus glans.
What are these
- Goblet Cell
- Ciliated Columar Cells
- Basal Cell
What are k cells
Small granule cell/Kulchitsky cell (“K-cell”) – secretes serotonin, endocrine cells: part of the diffuse neuroendocrine system (DNES)
Chronic presence of toxins from smoking or air pollution can cause cilia to become immobilized and unable to clear mucous, this can lead to BLANKS epithelium changes from pseudostratified columnar to stratified squamous. Can produce precancerous cell dysplasia.
squamous metaplasia
Serous mucosa Glands
Duct(Top)
Seromucosa gland(Bottom)
What does the reachea divide into…2 priiary bronchi
Extrapulmonary and intrapulmonary
What type of primary bronchi is this?
Intrapulmonary
Cartilage broken up to plates gives a folded apperance.
Smooth Muscle(botton)
Seramucous Gland(top left)
What is this
Bronchioles
No cartilage and is used for smooth muscle constriction… bronchospasms
