Q

what are the components of the respiratory system?

A
  • olfactory mucosa in nasal cavity= olfaction
  • Vocal folds= phonation/speaking
  • conduction and conditioning of air
  • gaseous exchange= blood gas -barrier/respiratory portion
  • endocrine=hormones= neuroendocrine cells
  • immune functions- bronchial associated lymphoid tissue

Q

Nasal cavity:

what can you find in the respiratory region?

what is the epithelium?

what is the lamina propia?

what are turbinates?
clinical clinical correlate?

A
  • Respiratory epithelium/ pseudo stratified ciliated columnar
  • Lamina propria: adhered to cartilage. vessels lined up perpendicular to the airflow—– warms the air/ conditions it.
  • Clinical correlate: nasal congestion

Turbinates– increase the surface area covered by respiratory mucosa. better conditioning of air

also has the vestibule

Q

What are serous olfactory glands/ Bowman’s glands found in the nasal cavity olfactory region?

Q

How are odors sensed?

A

the secretion of olfactory glands trap and dissolve odoriferous particles. These then bind to OBP ( odorant binding proteins) and are delivered to receptors. Glandular secretion also wash away odor particles once sensed. Bowman’s glands will wash out the sensed smell

Q

what are basal cells?

A

they are near the basement membrane and they are stem cells that regenerate all other cell types

Synapse with afferent nerves; sensory function

24
Q

A

Kartengener’s syndrome/ primary ciliary dyskinesia

the mucous clogs

25
Q

what occurs to individuals with smoking and bronchitis?

A

their conducting respiratory duct gets narrowed, you don’t get enough oxygen so get cyanosis= blue bloater, wheezing, metaplasia, inflammation, pseudo stratified cells are now turned into stratified squamous causing metaplasia

smokers have now cilia

26
Q

describe bronchioles:

A

1- terminal bronchioles=
larger bronchioles

2- respiratory bronchioles

they lack cartilage

they do not have mucous glands

instead of cartilage= smooth muscle

instead of mucous glands= Club muscles

LOOK AT PIC

pseudostratified at upper part of bronchial

all the way down, ciliated cuboidal ells. here there are club cells.

27
Q

what are club cells?

A

-bronchiolar exocrine cells

surfactant active agent

Club cell protein= CC16= marker for diagnosis of chronic lung disease. this indicates that epithelium is injured

28
Q

what is bronchial asthma?

A

airway obstruction, increased mucus, increased smooth muscle, and bronchiolar wall inflammation.

29
Q

what is bronchial asthma treated with?

A

albuterol, anticholinergic medications relax smooth muscles

corticosteroids= antiinflammatory

thickening/ hypertrophy of smooth muscle layer and hyper plasma. airway blocked by cell debris and mucus.

you find high levels of mucosa and smooth muscles are constricted
bronchiolar wall inflammation

LOOK AT PIC

30
Q

where is the first site that gas exchange take place?

A

respiratory bronchiole

31
Q

what characterizes respiratory bronchiole? what epithelium?

A

-belongs to both conducting and respiratory bronchioles

supported by small amount of smooth muscle plates and elastic fibers,
walls are interrupted by alveoli
simple cuboidal epithelium with ciliated and club cells proximal

LOOK AT PIC

32
Q

Respiratory division: alveolar ducts

A

respiratory bronchioles transition into alveolar ducts as the number of alveolar out-pouching increase, lined by alveoli, they have bundles of smooth muscle cells found between alveolar out-pocketing ( inter alveolar septum)

LOOK AT PIC

33
Q

what is alveoli and what cells make up alveoli?

A

thin walled polyhedral terminal sacs where gaseous exchange takes place.

-Alveooli are separated from eachother by an interalveolar septum.

Cell types: Macrophages, Type I, type II pmneumocyes

LOOK AT PIC

34
Q

alveolar ducts terminate in what?

A

alveolar sacs

35
Q

what is another name for macrophages?

A

dust cells

36
Q

what is the job of dust cells/macrophages?

A

phagocytosis of inhaled particles, they also degrade surfactant.

they can ingest pretty much anything except tuberculosis bacteria

LOOK AT PIC

1- septum macrophages

2- alveolar macrophages

37
Q

what kind of epithelium are found on the Type I pneumocytes of the alveoli? where are they found?

A

Squamous cells that line 95% of alveolar surface

terminal cells not capable of mitosis

surface is covered by surfactant

SEE PIC

38
Q

What kind of epithelium are found on Type II pneumocytes ? where are they found?

A
  • cuboidal cells that secrete surfactant
  • Found at septal junctions

they cover only 5% of alveolar surface

they have apical lamellar bodies/ foamy appearance

39
Q

what kind of pneumocyte forms tight junctions?

A

Type I

40
Q

what kind of pneumocyte forms the blood- air barrier?

A

Type I

type I can only give rise to Type I

41

what kind of pmneumocyte are stem cells ?

A

Type II

only this one can give rise to both Type I and II

42
Q

what does SP-A do?

A

it regulates synthesis and secretion of surfectant and modulates an immune response

43
Q

what does SP-D do?

A

regulates the allergic response to airborne antigens

44
Q

what do SP-B and SP-C do?

A

regulate spreading of surfactant

adequate amount of surfectant is produced after 35th week of gestation.

regulated by cortisol, insulin, thyroxin and prolactin

  3. Basal lamina of P1
  4. Connective tissue elements
  5. Basal lamina capillary endothelium
  6. Endothelial cells
47
Q

what characterizes COPD?

A

smoking elevates neutrophils which elevates elastase which destroys elastic fibers and causes permanent dilation of the airways

you end up losing surface area for gas exchange because of dilated airspaces

48
Q

What is characteristic of emphysema?

A

permanent enlargement of respiratory spaces affecting airways distal to the terminal bronchioles.
- Neutrophils release proteases including elastase which break down elastic fibers..

there is a deficiency of alpha 1 antitrypsin

49
Q

what is alpha 1 antitrypsin for?

A

counteracts elastase activity

50
Q

what characterizes the appearance of a lung with emphysema?

A

large air spaces, large lungs.
dilated airspaces and loss of surface area for gas exchange.

51
Q

what characterizes the appearance of a lung with pneumonia in imagine? what kinds of cells would you find in its histology?

A

consolidation, enlargement of capillaries by exudate

presence of neutrophils

52
Q

what characterizes small cell lung cancer/oat cell carcinoma?

A

associated with smoking

origin: neuroendocrine cells. they have Cushing syndrome due to ACTH secretion

SEE IMAGE= central mass aggressive often metastasized when diagnosed

53
Q

what characterizes squamous cell carcinoma ?

A

associated with smoking
