22
Q

colon

A

The muscularis mucosae is indistinct at this magnification

  • Simple columnar epithelium of the crypts produces mucus and supplies cells to the surface
  • Surface epithelial cells absorb water and electrolytes
23
Q

function of the mucosa in the urinary tract

A
  1. To absorption of essential nutrients in the kidney
  2. Prevent entry of pathogens
  3. Removal of waste products e.g. urea
24
Q

structural unit of the kidney

A

the nephron

25
Q

cells which line the corpuscle

A

squamous epithelium

26
Q

lining of the collecting duct is

A

cuboidal epithelium

27
Q

proximal contains

A

ciliated surfaces (movement)

28
Q

basal lamina in the kidney

A

around each tubule

29
Q

where does the muscle layer first appear in the urinary system

A

the ureter and bladder

30
Q

cells in the bladder

A 
transitional epithelium (can contract and relax)
- urothelium
31
Q

what acts as a shock absorber in an expanding bladder

A

fat

32
Q

rounded transitional cells

A

relaxed state

33
Q

flattened transitional cells

A

distended state

34
Q

function of mucosal layer in the urinary tract

A
  • Epithelial cells produce mucus
  • Protects bladder from damage by acidic urine
  • Tight junctions prevent leakage to inner cell layers
35
Q

urethra structura

A

Structure similar to bladder (except epithelial cells change from transitional epithelium to squamous and then keratinised squamous epithelium).
 Large number of mucous glands present
( produce sticky mucus to prevent ingress of pathogens)

36
Q

order of the respiratory tract

A 
o	Nasal cavity
o	Nasopharynx
o	Oropharynx
o	Larynx
o	Trachea
o	Bronchi
o	Bronchioles
o	Respiratory bronchioles
o	Alveoli
	Alveolar sacs and ducts
o	Diaphragm
37
Q

respiratory tract is divided into two part

A

conducting protion

respiratory protion

38
Q

conduction portion

A

nasal cavity to bronchioles

39
Q

respiratory portion

A

respiratory bronchioles to alveoli (gas exchange)

40
Q

how long and wide is a trachea

A

10cm: 2.5cm

41
Q

trachea divides into

A

two primary bronchi at the mid thorax

42
Q

how does the structure of the primary bronchi differ to that of the trachea

A

cartilage rings and spiral muscles completely encircle the lumen

(in the trachea its a horseshoe shape)

43
Q

layers of the trachea

A
  • mucosa
  • submucosa
  • C-shape hyaline cartilage
44
Q

mucosa in the trachea

A

o Epithelial layer is several cells deep and covered in cilia (moves debris, dust, bacteria etc towards the mouth)

45
Q

submucosa in the trachea

A

o Connective tissue layer contains mainly collagen and elastin fibres and many fibroblasts
 Contains seromucous glands- produce water mucus that thickens during infection

46
Q

C-shaped Hyaline cartilage in the trachea can be palpated externally and is made of two layers

A

o Perichondrium- fibroblasts that lay down collagen fibres
o Chrondrogenic layer- from which cartilage is formed
 Cells present can interconvert from chrondroblasts to chondrocytes- so can make both hyaline and elastic cartilage

47
Q

the trachea has no

A

outer layer of smooth muscle

48
Q

Secretions from the epithelium and submucosal glands of the trachea and bronchi contain:

A
  • Mucins and water- sticky mucous
  • Serum proteins- lubricates
  • Lysozyme- destroy bacteria
  • Anti-proteases- inactivate bacterial enzymes
49
Q

Mucocilliary escalator’

A

Together with a ‘cilia wave’ mucus moves material to the oral cavity where the material can be swallowed
- - Cilia beat at 12Hz

50
Q

secondary and tertiary bronchi histology

A

histology similar to primary bronchi EXCEPT cartilage no longer in full circle of rings

51
Q

layers of secondary and tertiary bronchi

A
  • Epithelium (E) – pseudostratified and ciliated
  • Bound by smooth muscle (M)
  • Supported by seromucous glands in the submucosa
  • Airways kept open with crescent shaped cartilage
  • NO OUTER LAYER OF SMOOTH MUSCLE
52
Q

alveolus capillaries

A

lined with endothelium

- fused to basal lamina with even thinner epithelial cells of the alveoli (optimum gas exchange)

53
Q

folds of the basal lamina in the alveolus

A

allow for expansion of the air sacs when air is drawn into the lungs

54
Q

collagen and elastic in alveoli allow

A

recoil to empty sacs when exhaling
