Practical Flashcards
(44 cards)
Muscular bronchiole key features (3):
- No cartilage
- Surrounded by smooth muscle
- Surrounded by lung tissue
Identify the cell marked by the curved arrow.

Alveolar macrophage (Dust cell)
Identify the cell indicated by the red arrow.

Type I pneumocyte
- involved in gas exchange
- nuclei is flattened
- cytoplasm is very extenuated
- cover about 95% of the alveolar surface
Identify the organ:

- Larynx:
- Vocal fold (VO) (true vocal cord)
- Ventral fold (VE)
Structures composing the mucociliary escalator:
- ciliated cells (cilia)
- goblet cells (mucous)
Arrowhead points to:

blood vessel
Alveolar macrophage (Dust cell) locations:
- CT of alveolar septum
- air space of alveolus
Identify the structure.

- Muscular bronchiole:
- No cartilage
- Surrounded by smooth muscle
- Surrounded by lung tissue
Identify the tissue at the arrow.

Hyaline cartilage: keeps airway passages open
Identify the entire structure.
Insert shows lining of structure.

- Trachea
- C-shaped cartilage ring
- Not surrounded by lung tissue
Identify the cell:

clara cell
- domed shaped cell
Functions of Alveolar macrophage (Dust cell):
- Remove inhaled particulate matter
- Secrete antitrypsin inhibitor
- Neutrophils secrete elastase
Type II pneumocytes cover about __% of alveolar air surface.
5%
Where do clara cells begin to appear?
muscular bronchioles
Type II pneumocytes are progenitor cells for:
- type I pneumocytes.
Identify the entire structure.

- Bronchus (intropulmonary bronchus):
- Pseudostratified epithelium
- Surrounded by lung tissue
- Cartilage plates
Key features of trachea (2):
- C-shaped cartilage ring
- Not surrounded by lung tissue
Identify structure marked by the blue arrow.

- Alveolar pore (pores of Kohn)
- Allows circulation of air from one alveolus to another.
Identify the organ:

- Lung:
- alveolar openings are lined with pneumocyte I and pneumocyte II cells
Identify the tissue at the surface.

- Olfactory epithelium:
- pseudostratified epithelium
- NO GOBLET CELLS
Identify the function of the cell indicated by the arrowhead.

- Goblet cell
- secretes mucous to trap foreign particles
Identify the cell indicated by the arrow.

Type II pneumocyte
- Rounded in appearance with a rounded nuclei
Identify the structure at the arrowhead.

- Pulmonary artery
- Arteries follow the bronchi and the bronchioles into the lung.
Pulmonary veins are located where in the lungs?
- not next to bronchioles.
- next to alveoli carrying oxygenated blood out.
