Bronchi
Goblet cells ends where along respiratory tract?
Bronchi
Pseudostraticfied ciliated columnar epithelial cells end where along respiratory tract?
Terminal bronchioles
SMCs end where along respiratory tract?
Terminal bronchioles
Respiratory zone consists of?
respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli
Cuboidal cells where? squamous?
respiratory bronchioles; alveolar ducts and alveoli
Increase collapsing pressure by? When do alveoli have a tendency to collapse?
2*surface tension/radius
To increase collapsing pressure, Increase surface tension or decrease radius
Alveoli collapse during expiration
Surfactant - made by? production begins when? Most important component? test of fetal lung maturity?
Type II cells starting around week 26. Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine. Lung mature when Lecithin:sphingomyelin ratio>2.0
lung cells that make both Type I and Type II cells?
Type II cells
Pneumocytes?
Type I, Type II and Clara cells
Clara cells: histo? Function?
nonciliated columnar with secretory granules. Secrete component of surfactant and degrades toxins
