Respiratory Flashcards
2 main portions of resp and functions
- respiratory - alveoli, gas exchange
2. conducting - warm, humdifies, filters
4 layers of the trachea from in to out
- mucosa
- submucosa
- cart.
- adventitia
structure of mucosa
pseudostratified columnar epithelium with goblet cells sitting on lamina propria
6 types of cells in mucosa
- ciliated - move mucous
- goblets - sol phase of mucous
- basal - proliferate
- brush - sensory microvilli
- kulchitsky - neuroendocrine secretory cells
- dendritic - antigen presenting
3 things making up submucosa
- loose connective tissue
- seromucous glands
- ducts
feature of cart. rings
open on posterior with smooth muscle that connects called trachealis
feat iof adventia
loose connective tissue surrounding cart.
4 layers of bronchi
- mucosa
- submucosa
- cart.
- adventitia
Diffs. between bronchi and trach.
- mucosa - some smooth muscle
- submucosa - same
- cart. - irregular and less prominent
- adventitia - same
diffes between bronchi and bronchioles
- mucosa - even more smooth muscle
- submucosa - gone
- cart. - gone
- adventitia - merges with mucosa - has elastic to prevent collapse
3 changes in mucosa in bronchioles
- lose the goblets
- then the cilia
- clara cells appear - secrete similar stuff to surfactant, progentiors
enzyme that break down lung elastic
elastase
4 parts of resp. part of lung
- resp. broncioles
- alveoli
- interalveolar septum
- alveolar/cap bed
Feats . of resp. broncioles
broncioles broken by alveoli
- from the term bronchioles
Feat of alveoli
polyhedral units
